Fantaskulicious! These are delicious, which I think is fantastic. I have made this recipe twice now. The were served at Thanksgiving in place of the creamed onions and everyone agreed that this should be the new onion dish we have. I have also giving the recipe out twice now! Easy, fast and yummy, what else could I ask for? Thanks so much Decaf!
Wow my husband and I really loved this dish. Only gave it 4 stars because the onion flavor was very strong. My kids would not touch this because of the “o” word. Never heard of this before, but will find a way to modify the onion taste in the future.
This is my favorite holiday side dish! I lost my recipe, so I am so glad you posted this!!! Definitely takes a while to make, but soooooo worth the wait!
