Caramelized Onions, Meal for Montana Dish 2

[disco]

You are my hero on this one Disco! Of course a crockpot!!! That's just so obvious!!
Carmelizing onions for me is like a religious experience... standing over the stove with a pot full while getting anointed with the rich smell on your clothes, and in your hair etc... and that lingers around the house for days.
Yes... French onion soup is my favorite. Go to have some good pungent Swiss cheese with it though too.
Oh man.... lunch wont get here fast enough!
Points Disco!

Har! Thanks for the point! I hope you still do your ritual with onions as it sounds so good!

l Love caramelized onions,
I do the same as jimmy when my onions are getting past their prime, time for French Onion Soup.

@ browneyesvictim, so true, made some last year and it was in everyone's clothing, my daughter was at work and folks kept saying to her, "do you smell that"? Truth be told that the after smell on the clothing isn't a crowd pleaser.

I also do them in a bit of butter and near the end add a little barbecue sauce for hot dog toppings (reminds me of the dogs at the food carts in the city)
I have done this for a bunch of cub scout events and folks who really don't care for hot dogs were tearing them up with this topping.
Thanks for the post I will be doing these soon and yes, in the crockpot.

Thanks. I never realized everyone loves onions as much as I do.

Looks excellent David! I use this method in big batches, then divide up into sandwich baggies to freeze for enough for two people - they last forever and never get freezer burn. Using the slow cooker is the easiest way I've ever done.

Tsk. So why didn't you tell us sooner? Thanks!

Now here is another little golden nugget...
Add a few seeded and chopped peppers in with your onions to caramelize with them. There is no heat from them, just more flavor!

Quite honestly I thought most people used this method! Here is how I like to package the onions, and usually end up with about 4-5 bags for the freezer.
