Buttery delicious melted onions can be added to almost anything and always succeed at making it better. They’re fantastic included in your morning omelet, topping your lunchtime sandwich, or as a garnish for your dinner meat or fish. The sweetness of these melted onions will enhance soups and stews. Cold or hot, they are fantastic. Basically what I am saying is that this is a recipe you will want for the rest of your sorry miserable life (which will no longer be “sorry” or “miserable” because you now will have melted onions!). It’s truly difficult to exaggerate how wonderful these are.
Noteworthy FYI:
***The longer the onions cook the meltier they get. They also turn a darker caramel color the longer they cook. That is a good thing!
I almost always make these onions in bulk because I’m not even kidding a little when I say they taste good with everything. Everything! Except for maybe cold cereal. Probably don’t add them to cold cereal.
But yeah, I absolutely love them added to everything! ie: breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You wouldn’t believe the difference they make in burgers, quesadillas and grilled cheese! The possibilities for this slow cooked wonderful creamy sweetness, are endless.
Furthermore, AWESOME NEWS! Once made, you can refrigerate these onions for up to 3 days and they will retain their fresh delicious flavor.
Of course now I’m probably getting ahead of myself. Before you refrigerate them, let me tell you how to make them. Ha!
