FRENCH FRIED ONIONS



French Fried Onions image

A homemade alternative to the Durkee® brand. I use these for casserole recipes. I will never buy store-bought French fried onions again. This recipe makes a lot! I often just use one onion and about 1/2 cup of milk and 1 cup of flour with seasonings if I just want to use them for one dish. Warning: You may have to make what the original recipe calls for because they are so yummy and you won't be able to stop eating them!

SPAGHETTI CASSEROLE TOPPED WITH FRENCH FRIED ONIONS RECIPE - (4.5/5)



Spaghetti Casserole topped with French Fried Onions Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by MissAlyssaG

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 ounces uncooked spaghetti
1 pound soy crumbles (optional)
1 large can spaghetti sauce (26.5 ounces)
1 tablespoon butter
1/2 cup chopped green peppers (I usually omit or substitute red peppers)
1/3 cup chopped onions
8 ounces cream cheese
2 tablespoons milk
Fresh grated Parmesan cheese
French Fried Onions (small can)
Maybe add some other veggies instead of soy crumbles

Steps:

  • Cook spaghetti according to directions on the package. Cook to al dente, drain and set aside. Heat up soy crumbles. Add spaghetti sauce to skillet and heat. Combine onions, peppers and butter in small glass bowl. Cover and microwave 4 minutes on HIGH until soft. Add cream cheese and milk to vegetables and stir well. (If cream cheese is not soft, nuke it for 20-30 seconds to make it easy to spread.) Using a 10 x 6 dish, assemble in the following order: Thin layer of spaghetti sauce on the bottom of the casserole dish. Spaghetti Cream cheese/vegetable mixture Spaghetti sauce Parmesan Cheese (amount subject to your own taste) French Fried Onions (added during last 5 minutes of cooking) Bake at 350 degrees for 25 minutes. Top with French Fried onion and continue baking 5 more minutes. (This is the secret ingredient-don't let them burn.)

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Use yellow or white onions for a classic French fried onion flavor. Red onions can also be used, but they will have a slightly different flavor.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them cook evenly and get crispy.
  • Soak the onions in milk or water: This will help to remove some of the sharpness of the onion flavor.
  • Coat the onions in flour: This will help them to brown and crisp up.
  • Fry the onions in hot oil: This will help them to cook quickly and evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: This will prevent the onions from cooking evenly.
  • Season the onions with salt and pepper: This will help to enhance their flavor.
  • Serve the onions immediately: They are best when they are hot and crispy.
