SWEET ONION-CORN BAKE



SWEET ONION-CORN BAKE image

Categories     Cheese     Onion     Side     Bake     Vegetarian

Yield Makes 6-8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
1/2 cup butter or margarine
1 1/2 cups sour cream
1/2 cup milk
1 tsp. dill weed
1/4 tsp. salt
3 cups shredded colby cheese, divided
2 large eggs, lightly beaten
1 (14.5 ozs.)can cream style corn
1 (8.5 oz.) pkg. corn muffin mix
1/2 tsp. chili powder

Steps:

  • Spray 13x9 inch oven dish with non-stick spray. Melt butter or margarine in a large skillet, saute onions over low heat until tender, stirring occaisonally. In one medium bowl, combine sour cream, milk, dill and salt until well blended. Stir in 2 cups of the colby cheese. Stir into onion mixture and set aside from heat. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. In another bowl combine eggs, creamed corn, corn muffin mix and chili powder until blended. Spread into the bottom of the baking dish. Top with onion mixture. Sprinkle with remaining cheese. Bake uncovered for 45-50 minutes or until eggs are set and the top is lightly browned. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right onions: Use sweet onions like Vidalia or Walla Walla for a milder flavor, or yellow or white onions for a more robust flavor.
  • Slice the onions thinly: This will help them caramelize evenly and quickly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pan: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the onions from burning.
  • Cook the onions slowly: Be patient and cook the onions over low heat until they are soft and caramelized, stirring occasionally.
  • Add a splash of liquid: This will help prevent the onions from drying out. You can use water, broth, wine, or vinegar.
  • Season the onions: Add salt, pepper, and other herbs and spices to taste.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: If you overcrowd the pan, the onions will steam instead of caramelizing.
  • Use caramelized onions as a topping: Caramelized onions are a delicious topping for burgers, sandwiches, pizzas, and salads.

Conclusion:

Caramelized onions are a versatile and delicious ingredient that can be used in a variety of dishes. They are easy to make and can be prepared in advance. So next time you have some onions on hand, give caramelized onions a try. You won't be disappointed!
