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. Suggestions and quick recipe from RR magazine.

This is one of my very favourites. Tonight it made an ordinary hot dog.....*Spectacular*. Added cheese, and a little bit of pickle relish. I was in Dog Heaven. Thanks Mommy Diva. Made for the Auzzie/NZ Recipe Swap #31

Yum! Made as a topping for Kittencal's French Dip Roast (Crock Pot). Omitted the salt as I was using salted butter. Very simple and easy to make anything delicious! Came out perfect. Made for Saucy Senoritas ZWT5.

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.

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.
