Ingredients

The ingredients are:
  • 3 pounds yellow onions (cut in half and cut into 1/4″ slices I like to use a mix of yellow and sweet onions)
  • 1/3 cup butter, melted (you can use half olive oil and half butter too)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt (I use a bit less)
  • Optional
  • 2 tablespoons sherry (or white wine)
  • Sugar, pinch (some like a bit sweeter onion)
We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • 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.

We hope you enjoy this recipe!
