Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit.
In a large oven-safe skillet, melt 2 tablespoons unsalted butter over medium heat.
Add 2 large chopped sweet onions and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and tender, about 15 minutes (reduce heat if they begin to brown too quickly).
Remove the skillet from the heat. Add 1 cup mayonnaise, 4 ounces softened cream cheese, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon dried thyme, and ½ teaspoon salt; stir until the mixture is mostly combined.
Stir in 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese and 1 cup shredded smoked gouda cheese until evenly distributed.
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 minutes, or until the dip is bubbly and the cheeses are melted.
Remove from the oven, let cool for a few minutes, garnish with chopped parsley, and serve.
