Parboil the onions: Parboiling the onions helps to remove their sharp flavor and make them more tender.
Use a good quality cream: Heavy cream or whipping cream will give the casserole a rich, creamy flavor.
Season the casserole well: Use salt, pepper, and garlic powder to taste.
Add some cheese: Grated Parmesan or cheddar cheese will add a nice cheesy flavor to the casserole.
Bake the casserole until golden brown: The casserole should be baked until the top is golden brown and the onions are tender.
