CREAMED ONIONS
This is my absolute favorite dish that my mom makes. The onions have a mild sweet flavor, and there's plenty of the rich creamy sauce. The sweetness makes a nice complement to the Peppered Beef Tenderloin. -Denise Bitner Reedsville, Pennsylvania

Tips:
- Choose the right onions: Yellow or white onions are the best choices for this recipe, as they have a milder flavor than red onions.
- Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and quickly.
- Use a large skillet: This will give the onions plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
- Cook the onions over medium heat: This will help them caramelize slowly and evenly.
- Don't stir the onions too often: Stirring them too much will prevent them from caramelizing properly.
- Add the cream and milk: Once the onions are caramelized, add the cream and milk. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 5-10 minutes, or until the onions are tender.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste.
- Serve immediately: Creamed onions are best served immediately, while they are still hot and creamy.
