King's Arms Tavern-like Creamed Onions image

This is similar to the recipe for creamed onions served at the King's Arms Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg. The Tavern version (from a 1970s cookbook of Old Williamsburg recipes) includes extra salt which I omit. The salted peanuts make it salty enough for my tastes, even before the doctor put me on a low-salt diet. However, I always have a salt shaker on the table so people who like it saltier can add it themselves.

I'm not a big fan of onions, but I love this recipe. The onions are cooked until they're soft and sweet, and the sauce is creamy and flavorful.

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover onions. I always have a few onions that are starting to go bad, and this recipe is a great way to use them up.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my creamed onions turned out watery and bland.

I thought this recipe was just okay. The onions were a bit bland and the sauce was too thin.
