King's Arms Tavern-like Creamed Onions image

This is similar to the recipe for creamed onions served at the King's Arms Tavern in Colonial Williamsburg. The Tavern version (from a 1970s cookbook of Old Williamsburg recipes) includes extra salt which I omit. The salted peanuts make it salty enough for my tastes, even before the doctor put me on a low-salt diet. However, I always have a salt shaker on the table so people who like it saltier can add it themselves.

I made this recipe last night and it was a hit! My family loved it. The only thing I changed was that I added a little bit of garlic to the sauce. It gave it a little extra flavor.

OMG! This recipe is amazing! I've never had creamed onions before, but they were so delicious. The sauce was creamy and rich, and the onions were perfectly tender. I will definitely be making this again.
