Step 2

Can be stored in the refrigerator for up to one month, using when needed.

This was really easy and I love how much it speeds up cooking when you need carmelized onions. I made some brown rice and did a quick saute with some refrigerated onions, pus some refrigerated roasted garlic and fresh mushrooms. Added it to the rice about 2/3 of the way through cooking, and was fabulous.

Loved these. I made these because Teresa added them to her Best of 2018 cookbook. And like her, mine were pretty much done in about 2 1/2 hours. I did make the full batch.......knew that I would use them all. lol. I used some on a burger, and made some French onion soup. The rest I put in the freezer for more yumminess later. Thanks for sharing this nice keeper.

I loved how these came out...but the house smell overwhelmingly of onions until they started to caramelize...I prepared half of the recipe...and they started to caramelize in 1 1/2 hours...they were totally done in 2 1/2 hours...I'm going to use them in a recipe that calls for caramelizing the onions...so I'm one step ahead...and hopefully there's some left to throw on a burger...I should have just made the full amount...stupid me...made for "Bill Board" tag game...
