Caramelized Onions

 I learned that caramelized onions are a delicious addition to grilled cheese sandwiches from an Ethan Chlebowski cooking deep dive video on YouTube. I learned a lot of onion information from that video. I will embed it for you here:

Caramelizing onions takes a while. It has to be done low and slow, meaning low heat and slow cooking. I am talking 40 minutes.
They don't look pretty, but Oh! They are so good! Sweet and savory. Warm and nutty.


 If you have never had caramelized onions on your grilled cheese sandwiches, I highly recommend you give it a try. Or, maybe you already have tried this. Did you like it?

  1. I'm finally catching up on your blog after the holidays! I love caramelized onions. I have made them both on the stovetop and in the slow cooker. When I make them in the slow cooker, I make a large amount and then freeze in smaller portions. This way I can pull them out to add to recipes as needed.

    1. So good to see you back, Alyssa! I've missed your comments.
      I hope you had good holidays.
      Using a slow cooker for caramelizing onions sounds like a genius idea! I may try that someday.
