EASY CHEESE AND ONION BREAD
I was searching for a quick bread recipe without all the time and work it takes to knead dough and then wait for it to rise. I searched Food Network.com and found a recipe for "Beer Bread". Although simple and fast to make, I did not like the taste of it. So I altered the ingredients and experimented a bit and after just two trys, I came up with this version. I was so pleased with it....I felt compelled to share it with others who like me, want a quick homemade bread that everyone will love! Make sure your oven is the required temperature. Let cool before slicing otherwise it will crumble and fall apart. When slicing, use a very sharp knife and saw gently while pressing down to get the best results. This bread is great with stews, chili, heartly soups, and open faced turkey or beef sandwiches. Very filling!

Tips:
- Choose the right onion: Different types of onions have different flavors, so choose the one that best suits your recipe. Yellow onions are a good all-purpose onion, while red onions have a slightly sharper flavor and white onions are milder. Sweet onions, such as Vidalia onions, are great for eating raw or caramelizing.
- Cut onions properly: To avoid tearing up, cut onions under a running tap or fan. You can also chill the onion for 30 minutes before cutting it.
- Caramelize onions slowly: Caramelized onions are a delicious and versatile ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. To caramelize onions, cook them over low heat for 30-45 minutes, or until they are golden brown and soft.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking onions, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent them from cooking evenly and will make them more likely to burn.
- Season onions well: Onions are a great vegetable to season. Salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder are all good choices. You can also add fresh herbs, such as thyme, rosemary, or oregano, to taste.
Conclusion:
Onions are a versatile and delicious vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. From soups and stews to salads and sandwiches, onions add flavor and depth to any meal. With a little practice, you can learn to cook onions perfectly every time. So next time you're looking for a way to add flavor to your next dish, reach for an onion. You won't be disappointed.
