Tennessee Onions
Must use sweet onions caramelized w/ gooey, melted cheeses. Rich, tasty, comforting Southern side.

Ing 1 tsp ea dried thyme/parsley, garlic powder 1⁄2 tsp dried oregano, 1⁄4 tsp mustard powder 1⁄4 c unsalted butter 3-4 lge sweet onions (Vidalia) 1 cup ea sharp cheddar, mozzarella, shredded 1⁄2 cup Parm

Steps Mix thyme, parsley, gar/powder, oregano, s/p, mustard powder. Set aside. Slice peeled onions into 1/4" thick rounds. Separate into individual rings and add to bowl withspices. Toss to coat, then arrange in Buttered 9×13" b/dish. Cover onions w/ thin slices or small cubes butter; sprinkle w/ cheddar, mozzarella, and Parm. Bake 350 deg for 35-40 min; onions are tender and cheese is melted, bubbly, starting to brown on top. For an extra crispy finish, broil 2-3 min. Remove to counter; cool 5 min.

Notes Okay to overlap onions; distribute ing evenly on top. For best taste, use real butter. Shred cheese from block for best melty finish. Try Gouda or Gruyere. Add red pepper flakes for heat.

I’ve never heard of baking onions like that before.

I’m old enough to remember when my folks would go crazy for Vidalia onions from Georgia, in season.

Now? I can get them at the Piggly Wiggly any week of the year. And really, what fun is THAT? ;)
