What is your favorite way to cook onions?

I love onions any way you cook them. I put them in almost everything I cook for example, I put them in my squash, cabbage, beans, meat loaf, chicken salad, tuna salad, cole slaw, potato salad, toss salad, on top of a baked potato, and also golden fried onion rings.

Personally I love the green onions or chives. I cut them up real small heat up a plan with about half a cup of butter and throw them in with pepper and salt. I cook them until they taste sweet and salty at the same time and the edges are a little black. Then I put in corn. It makes the corn taste super sweet and the aroma that fills the room is exotic. I'm not a big fan of the white or yellow onion but when I do cook them I do like you do but I had green peppers. And they have to be cut julian style extremely thinly sliced.

I am a lazy cook when I do cook. Last meal I made with onions was chili. I cut them and simply toss them in the chili since I slow cook it all day. I probably should simmer them for awhile in oil but never do. My husband is not fond of onions unless I hide them in various foods. I use onion soup mix in meatloaf. Just enough to give it some flavor. Sorry I can't give you any good tips about how to cook onions.

We used to do easy cheesy onions. I no longer have the exact recipe. Slice onions, layer them in an 8x8 pan, pour a can of cream soup over them, and a cup of cheddar cheese. Bake til done. Something like that. I bet a search would get the exact thing.

Good morning, writersedge! Being poor, as a child, we ate a lot of onions, as they were prolific in our garden....and one of our favourites was creamed onions! Just cut the onions in half, slightly parboil, (with garlic cloves, if you like) remove and use water to make a nice cream sauce (white sauce) with just a touch of nutmeg! Yummy! I find that onions freeze very well, too! Nice to hear from you, and hoping that your hectic "census" taking is slowing down! Cheers!

I couldn´t answer this question. THe answer would be: all. I can just fix myself a lunch with fried onions and toast. I put some olive oil in the pan, cut the onions in coarse wedges and let them fry. I heat them but like them crip so the salt and peper are thrown in at the end. Every salad of mine will have some red onion rings. Every casserole will start with caramelized minced onion, crushed garlic, salt and pepper. Depending on what will the end product be, there´s also a bay leaf or oregano or sweet peppers. I love making quiches. They are wonderful and very unexpensives. THey look great as company diner. The quiche I love best is, of course, onion quiche. And it is SO easy to make!!! Take care and happy posting!
