Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds white onions, peeled and sliced thin
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon All Purpose Seasoning Blend
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: Place the sliced onions, butter, brown sugar, and all purpose seasoning blend into the slow cooker.
- Toss to Combine: Gently toss all ingredients together to ensure the onions are evenly coated with butter and seasonings.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker with the lid and cook the onions on the low setting for 8 hours, allowing them to slowly caramelize.
- Monitor Moisture: Every couple of hours, check the onions. If excess liquid accumulates, slightly vent the lid to let moisture escape and prevent steaming instead of caramelizing.
- Finish and Serve: Once the onions are deeply browned and caramelized, they are ready to be used immediately in your favorite dishes.
Notes
- Use thinly sliced white onions for best caramelization results.
- Venting the lid is crucial to avoid steaming the onions and to achieve proper browning.
- These caramelized onions keep well refrigerated for up to 5 days and can be frozen for longer storage.
