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

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.

Yummy! Will try this. We only like the sweet onions. And cheese!
Liz! Your TN onions, great looking comfort food! It should be Wisconsin Cheese, Yes??
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? ;)
