- A white or yellow onion will do.
- Substitute canola oil for olive oil.
- Stir the onions in the hot oil often so they don't burn.
- Using softened cream cheese helps get a smoother texture.
- Use salt and pepper to taste instead of the Cajun seasoning blend.
- Make a change by using your favorite kind of pickle instead of dill.
