How about a quick caramelized onion pro/con list? Pro: completely delicious. Con: spending a lot of time at the stove, unless you cook them in a crockpot! This recipe makes it easy to whip up a big batch of caramelized onions to use for sandwiches, dips and soups.

  1. jduncan REVIEW:

    This worked great! Tip: turn the slow cooker to high heat after about 4-5 hours and the onions will brown a bit as well.

  2. Ace REVIEW:

    I love caramelized onions! This way takes a long time but it gets them pretty tender. Add a pinch of salt to it while it cooks.
