Get out your spoon, go sit in your favorite sneaky eatin’ place, and dig in. The recipe says ‘serves 16’and you may get 20 servings if your family or friends have even an iota of self-restraint.
Preheat oven to 425-degrees F.
Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add onions. Cook until translucent and some of them are just barely beginning to turn golden, stirring as needed. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, beat the cream cheese and mayonnaise with an electric hand mixer until well blended and smooth. Add the mozzarella, parmesan, and onions; and mix until well blended.
Pour into an appropriate sized baking dish and bake at 425 degrees for 15 minutes. I have used dishes of various sizes and shapes. This dip bakes best when it is about 3/4-inch to 1-inch deep in the dish. This may sound really picky or technical, but per my preference, I think that this gives the best results.
Note: This recipe can be spiced up with smoked paprika, green chile peppers, jalapeno peppers, a little hot sauce, or a touch of chipotle chile powder.

I made this for a football party. Everyone agreed it needed more of a kick, I added tabasco with every bite and that helped a lot. I think next time I would add jalapenos or something to kick it up a notch. Otherwise, it was pretty good. Will make again with changes.

Jennifer–sorry that you were disappointed in this recipe. It is hard to waste good ingredients and your time on something that doesn’t meet one’s expectations. Although the recipe was designed to focus more on the sweetness of the onions and milder flavors, it would also serve as a great base for a spicier dip. I would suggest any of the following to perhaps make it more to your liking, depending on your preferred level of heat: 1 or 2 chopped chipotles in adobo, a minced habanero, chopped green chiles, 1/2-1 teaspoon chipotle chile powder, any flavor of hot sauce (my personal favorite is chipotle), and for a really easy change–change the cheeses to pepper jack. I hope you find something that works.
