Every year we hear there are some folks who don’t know what to do with the onions in their box. While that’s never a problem at my house, maybe it is at yours? Try this recipe – no idea where it came from – and substitute whatever cheese you like in place of the Gorgonzola, if blue is not a favorite at your house.
Baking the onions like this is an easy way to caramelize them without having to keep stirring a skillet on the stove.
