Fabulous and easy! I made the onions in the slow cooker along with Kelly's Crock Pot "smoked" Beef Roast or Brisket Kelly's Crock Pot 'smoked' Roast beef. It was a PERFECT meal!

    This recipe is really delicious. The second time I made it, I tried adding a 1/2 cup of water mixed with a simple soup base, such as OXO chicken or vegetable stock, which created a "French Onion Soup" at the end. Then I simply spooned the onion "soup" mixture from crockpot into bowls, put Swiss cheese and bread toasts on top, broiled a few mintues, then served.

    You cannot get any easier than this for carmelized onions. I was worried at first, I put them in the old fashioned tall crockpot. You need the surface for them to carmelize properly. I did finally turn it up on high in the am and with 3 hours PERFECT carmelized onions. I mixed them in with garlic mashed potatoes to serve with BBQ ribs. The rest will be turned in French Onion Soup. Thanks Mirj for the great recipe!!!

    Thank you, thank you, Mirj! This recipe couldn't be easier, or better. I tried this last night, and woke up about 3am wondering who was cooking....then I remembered. Sweet dreams indeed!! I tasted these babies this morning and I was not disappointed in the flavors. I let them cool, then popped them in a freezer bag to use later on my carnitas, or fajitas this holiday season. Thanks again for sharing your recipe. Definately a keeper in my printed book!!
