Crock Pot Caramelized Onions
Recipe: #9554
May 12, 2013
"I really enjoy caramelized onions; but, face it ... sometimes, I just don't have the time or patience to make them. They are a great condiment - to top a steak, grilled chicken, burgers, sausages or brats; and, also very nice chilled on sandwiches too. Make a big batch of these and freeze in small ziploc bags. Simply thaw and use them as needed. You can heat them up in the microwave; or, served chilled or room temp. It doesn't get much easier. If you like a bit more flavor ... add a couple of tablespoons of white wine or sherry to them."

Step by Step Method
Step 1
Crock Pot ... Add everything to the crock pot, cover, and cook on low anywhere from 8-10 hours. My oval crock pot takes 8 hours on low, but it is bigger and newer; my older round pot takes a good 10 hours. I try to stir it once during cooking, but it isn't necessary. Last time, I made them over night, and they went almost 12 hours in my smaller crock; and they still turned out perfect.
Step 2
Serve and ENJOY! ... Use what you need; then, refrigerate or freeze the rest. They will last 1 week in the refrigerator, and a good 3 months in the freezer. As I mentioned, they are great chilled, room temp, or served warm.
