Steps:
- Slice onions put in a large bowl. Heat large skillet and melt stick of butter (do not burn), add onions to skillet raise heat to high and keep mixing until onions are carmalized (approximately a 1/2 hour to 45 minutes, again not burnt just carmalized). Add ketchup and hot sauce (2-4 tablespoons depending on how hot you like them), lower flame and simmer for about 10 minutes continuing to turn onions so all the onions get coated. Serve on hot dogs, sausage patties or anything you want. My husband was actually eating it by the spoon.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Onions: Yellow or white onions are the most common choices for hot dog onions.
- Slice the Onions Thinly: Thinly sliced onions will cook more evenly and caramelize better.
- Use Butter or Oil: Butter adds flavor, while oil helps the onions caramelize.
- Cook the Onions Over Medium Heat: Medium heat will allow the onions to caramelize slowly and evenly.
- Stir the Onions Frequently: Stirring the onions frequently will prevent them from burning.
- Add a Pinch of Salt: A pinch of salt will help to draw out the moisture from the onions and speed up the caramelization process.
- Be Patient: Caramelizing onions takes time. Be patient and don't rush the process. You'll be rewarded with delicious, golden-brown onions.
