Reviews
It turned out amazing. I added one large Julianned zucchini squash and a little extra cheese and OMG! Sooo delicious.
I added some chopped garlic near the end of sautéing the onions. Very good tasting but I might make again and add mushrooms, bacon. I thought it tasted better warm rather than room temp.
I don’t know if I did something wrong or what, but this was not very good for us. It was messy and just didn’t look appetizing at all. It smelled wonderful, but we ended up throwing it out. May try again to see if we get the same results, because everyone else seems to enjoy it.
A hit! I got several requests for this recipe!
I found this recipe years ago and have been making it often ever since! I ALWAYS have requests from friends & family to make this dish or bring it. It truly is delicious…and easy to do!! A must have especially for the holiday table!!
This was good, but makes way more than 7 servings. You only need a small spoonful. I might make it again.
this was awesome, my family ate it up. even my son who doesn’t like onions
Good, but very greasy. I prefer “Moms Yummy Onion Casserole” on this site.
Absolute perfection!!! I had a few requests for this recipe, and printed them off at my Christmas dinner! I wouldnt change a thing… a definate new staple for christmas… et al!
I served as a side dish at Thanksgiving, looking for something to make that I already had ingredients for. I added garlic, wine, bacon, mushrooms and some mozzarella to the onion mixture as well as parm on top. I substituted milk and flour for the cream. It was a hit!
This was so good! My husband and I love onions, and this really hit the spot! I think next time I will add some thick hickory smoked bacon pieces. Mmmmmm!
gotta like onions, but this was good.
I’ve been trying out different veggie side-dishes to serve with Christmas dinner; this won’t be putting in appearance, I’m afraid. This was really bland, and not nearly cheesy enough for cheese freaks like us. I doubt I’ll make it again.
This was a pretty good recipe, but a little too much onion for me in one sitting. I found it goes extremely well as a “topper” for something else like baked potatoes. It already has all the butter you need and makes baked potatoes a special treat instead of the same old boring potato.
I made this dish to serve with our Thanksgiving Dinner, and it was great. Very easy to make. I sauted the onions early and finished the dish later. Sprinkled with paprika and parsley for color, it was a big hit. Thank you.
This is awesome and really easy to make. This one is a keeper!
This was very good. I think next time I will sauté a little garlic with the onions.
What a great recipe – quick and easy too!!! Also a great presentation for company. I followed directions exactly except for sprinking paprika on the top for color. This was my first try so I scaled it to 4 for just the 2 of us and we finished it up. I agree with another reviewer who suggests serving it immediately.
My husband is very picky and he absolutely loves this recipe! He especially loves it with steak. We have it alot and it goes with just about anything.
This was totally easy to put together. My husband and I are cheese and onion lovers. This is our new (replate the boring green beans) favorite recipe for the holidays.
I made this 3 years ago for a family gathering and I have been asked to bring it again every year.
