Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients
- 2 pounds white onions, peeled and sliced thin
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon brown sugar
- 1 teaspoon All Purpose Seasoning Blend
Instructions
- Add Ingredients to Slow Cooker: Place the sliced onions, butter, brown sugar, and all purpose seasoning blend into the slow cooker bowl.
- Toss to Combine: Gently toss everything together to ensure the ingredients are evenly distributed and the onion slices are coated with the butter and seasonings.
- Slow Cook: Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on the low setting for 8 hours. This slow and gentle heat gradually caramelizes the onions.
- Monitor Moisture: Check the onions every couple of hours. If excess liquid accumulates, slightly vent the lid to allow steam to escape to prevent the onions from steaming rather than caramelizing.
- Serve: Once the onions are deeply browned and caramelized, they are ready to be served immediately with your favorite dishes.
Notes
- For best results, use white or yellow onions for their natural sweetness.
- You can adjust the brown sugar amount based on your desired sweetness level.
- If your slow cooker runs hot, check periodically to prevent burning.
- Caramelized onions can be stored refrigerated for up to 5 days or frozen for longer storage.
