SWEET ONION BAKE
This is originally from a woman's magazine, but I can't remember which one. Anyway, it's a great side dish with steaks, roasts, or anything from the grill. It's one of my husband's favorites! I've also made it with fat-free half and half with good results.

- Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and caramelize nicely.
- Use a well-seasoned cast iron skillet: This will help the onions develop a nice, even browning.
- Cook the onions slowly and patiently: The key to caramelized onions is to cook them slowly and patiently over low heat. This will allow the sugars in the onions to caramelize and develop a rich, complex flavor.
- Add a splash of liquid: Adding a splash of liquid, like water, broth, or even white wine, will help the onions cook down and prevent them from burning.
- Season to taste: Once the onions are caramelized, season them to taste with salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices.
