CHEESY BAKED ONIONS

I FOUND this recipe in the newspaper many years ago. It has been a family favorite ever since. Since it goes well with any meat, it's a good "dish to pass" for family gatherings or potluck suppers. Someone will always ask "Who brought the onions?" -Louise Elliott, Gallipolis, Ohio

PORK CHOPS WITH APPLES, ONIONS AND CHEESY BAKED POTATOES



Pork Chops With Apples, Onions and Cheesy Baked Potatoes image

A simple, cold-weather dinner for two in about 40-45 minutes from start to table. I often tend to make it up and experiment with my own version of what I cook. (hence my name) That was indeed the case with this yummy pork chop dinner. I think it's best served with fresh dinner bread or rolls. If you want to make this dinner for more than two just figure it this way : 1 apple, 1/2 onion, 1 potato, 1 pork chop per person. Use amounts of spices, cheese, oil and butter as necessary. Note* Using soft apples like McIntosh won't work well since they'll get too soft, too fast. You want to keep some substance to the onions and apples.

1 Tbsp butter
7 large onions, chopped
1/2 c self-rising flour
1/2 tsp each salt and pepper, i used white pepper
1-1/4 c shredded cheddar cheese, divided
1-1/4 c shredded monterey jack cheese, divided
4 scallions, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. Heat oven to 350. Spray a 1-1/2-quart casserole dish w/ cooking spray. In lg skillet over med-high heat, melt butter. Add onions, saute until soft, about 10 ins.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Use medium-sized yellow or white onions for this recipe. They hold their shape well and caramelize beautifully in the oven.
  • Slice the onions evenly: This will help them cook evenly. Use a sharp knife to make clean, even slices.
  • Don't overcrowd the baking dish: Give the onions enough space so that they can caramelize properly. If the pan is too crowded, the onions will steam instead of roasting.
  • Roast the onions until they are tender and caramelized: This will take about 45 minutes to an hour. Keep an eye on the onions and stir them occasionally so that they cook evenly.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the most important ingredients in this recipe, so use a cheese that you love. A sharp cheddar or Gruyère cheese works well.
  • Serve the cheesy baked onions immediately: They are best enjoyed hot out of the oven.
