By: Mommy Diva
Feb 26, 2007
Simple,sweet recipe for sautéed onions to use in a variety of dishes!! Can be covered and stored for up to 5 days in the refrigerator to add to meals all week! Garnish a steak, soup or stew, use them in Baked Macaroni and Gouda Cheese With Italian Sausage, a quick pasta side, you name it-onions can add that finishing touch! A cast iron pan works best for caramelization, but any can be used.

Awesome and easy recipe - a one pound onion makes about 6 ounces of carmelized onions - I used them in Carmella's Chicken Rigatoni (copycat Macaroni Grill) - fabulous! Thanks

Your recipe is "right on" to carmelize onions. This is the same way I cook them (you "gotta" use an iron skillet). Fajitas just wouldn't be the same without these!! Thanks for posting.

I made ribeyes for dinner last night and this was an awesome accompaniment!! I normally have my steaks with sauteed onions, but have never used salt, pepper or sugar with the onions. These taste fantastic!!! Thanks for a great recipe Mommy Diva.
