Caramelized Onions can be time consuming, and I always burn them. Here is a version of a Slow Cooker Recipe for Caramlized Onions that I found on Epicurious.com .

Super Simple Slow Cooker Caramlized Onion Recipe

6 sweet onions – Walla Wallas, Vidalias, etc.

1 stick of butter

Slice onions in half, and then into 1/4 – 1/2 inch slices.

Put the onions and the stick of butter into a slow cooker, cover, and set on low.

let cook for about 12-15 hours, you can stir it a few times if you like.

Test them at 12 hours, if they aren’t done, cook another hour or two.

Drain the liquid and serve the onions as you like. I love them with mashed potatoes

Don’t feed the butter-onion liquid to your Labradors, its not good for their digestive system…

    Heat a heavy bottom pan over high heat. Slice onions very thin. Put a lot of butter in the pan. Add onion immediately. Add a healthy pinch of salt. Turn heat to low. Stir. Cover with a tight fitting lid. Turn off the heat. Walk away for thirty minutes. Open. Stir. Eat.

  2. David says:

    Ohh. Please omit the “Turn off the heat” step.

    Hey Eric – I agree with David except I don’t cover the pan. Cook the onions over a low , very low flame ( I burn stuff on electric stoves!) with butter and maybe a splash of olive oil. Let it slowly saute, stir occasionally . Thirty or so minutes later and Bob’s your uncle – carmelized onions! They make a killer French Onion soup!

    Vidalia onions are a trademarked product and originally came from Vidalia, Georgia – they are now grown in other areas of Georgia .

    Love the peonies! They are one of my favorite flowers!

    Also – life is too short not to feed the dogs from the table!

    This video reminded me of a very traditional Dutch recipe for leftover beef:

    Hachee pronounced has jee

    Lots of onions thickly sliced
    Leftover beef or beef suitable for stewing about half the weight of the onions or even less
    Salt, pepper
    1 bayleaf, 2 cloves
    1/2 stick of butter
    1/2 cup water

    Cut the beef in bitesize chunks, mix with the onions and salt and pepper.
    Butter, bayleaf and cloves on top, pour the water in.
    Cook on low, preferably overnight. Take the bayleaf and cloves out.
    Serve with mashed potatoes or cooked potatoes.

    Great idea! Perfect for having things ready for Sunday lunch.

    By the way, the title screen at the beginning of the video said “Beer Cool Sous Vide”.

  7. Ginger says:

    LOL – I had to restart the video three times and decided that the “Beer Cooler” episode was a good one, wouldn’t hurt ot watch it again … and then after the opening plackard faded off, I found that it was indeed the Onion episode and not the Beer Cooler one. Oops.
    Yes – only onions grown in Vidalia, GA are allowed to be called a Vidalia onion – which is ok, because the soil in Vidalia is what makes them taste so different than other onions.
    Or you can use Alton Brown’s version (less butter) in the slow cooker as well overnight (at least up until the wine portion of it) for all sauted/carmelized onion applications …
