Onion Ring Casserole - Aka Onion Fluff image

In the dim recesses of my memory, I recall being served something like this at church potlucks when I was little. I figured I might as well try it out and write it down - someone might find it interesting and tasty. ;) The onion rings in this casserole bake into a nice kind of "onion fluff."

Time 1h5m

Yield 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

20 ounces frozen onion rings (the minced onion kind)
13 3/4 ounces condensed cheddar cheese soup
7 ounces diced mild green chilies
1 teaspoon minced garlic (approx a couple of cloves)
3 eggs, beaten
3 tablespoons beer or 3 tablespoons milk
1/2 cup sour cream
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese or 1 1/2 cups sharp cheddar cheese

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Use pan spray to grease a large casserole baking dish.
  • In a bowl combine the soup, chiles, garlic, beaten eggs, wine/beer/milk, sour cream, salt, and pepper, and stir well to incorporate.
  • Place about 1/2 cup of the mixture on the bottom of the sprayed casserole dish.
  • Place one layer of onion rings on the bottom of the dish, then a second layer on top of the first, overlapping where the rings touch each other (sort of like how the Olympic rings overlap).
  • Pour half of the cheese mixture over the ring layers.
  • Add another two layers, continuing with the overlapping.
  • Pour the remaining half of cheese mixture over the top, using a spatula to try to cover as much of the rings as you can.
  • Top with shredded cheddar (or Velveeta, if you really want to go that direction, but I think cheddar tastes better).
  • Cover with casserole lid and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes, then uncover and bake for another 10 to 15 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and golden.
  • Makes 8 to 10 side servings.
  • Note: you can add other ingredients to this to make it more of a main dish/one dish meal, if you like, such as browned ground beef, hash browns or o'brien potatoes, and vegetables such as green beans or corn; it can probably also be done in a crockpot, somehow.
  • Good with salsa and/or hot sauce, too!

This casserole was a disappointment. The onions were not caramelized and the cheese was not melted. I followed the recipe exactly, so I'm not sure what went wrong.

I love this casserole! It's so easy to make and it always turns out perfect. I usually add some cooked bacon to it for extra flavor.

This casserole was a hit with my family! The onions were caramelized to perfection and the cheese was melted and gooey. I will definitely be making this again.
