JUDI’S RECIPES – WEEK 24 – NOVEMBER 12, 2019

November 12, 2019

Hi Everyone!

This is it – our very last CSA pick-up for the season! It’s been a wonderful season. The shares were plentiful, the quality was excellent, and the company was great! I’ll miss you all until next spring. But wait! We have a potluck dinner on Tuesday, December 3. You don’t want to miss that. Everyone is in a rush at the site. This is our chance to sit down and socialize in a decidedly relaxed and happy atmosphere.

Today’s recipe is for a sweet onion casserole. By now we all have onions. Try this!

TENNESSEE ONIONS

Ingredients

  • 2-3 whole Vidalia onions or any other sweet onion.
  • 4 TBS (1 stick)  unsalted butter
  • Garlic salt to taste
  • Pepper to taste
  • 1 cup good quality sharp cheddar cheese
  • 1 cup mozzarella cheese
  • ½ cup parmesan cheese
  • Fresh oregano or other herbs for garnish

Directions

  • Using non-stick cooking spray, coat a 9×13 baking dish.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees
  • Slice the onions in 1/4 to 1/2 inch slices and separate the rings.
  • Lay the rings in the prepared baking dish
  • Sprinkle the onion rings with garlic salt (about 1 tsp), pepper (about 1/2 tsp).
  • Cut the butter into pats and place around the dish on top of the onions.
  • Spread the cheddar and mozzarella cheeses on top of the onions and then top with the grated parmesan cheese.
  • Bake at 350, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown.
  • Remove the casserole from the oven, allow to cool for a few minutes. Garnish with some fresh herbs (oregano, chives, thyme all work well)  and then serve.

HELPFUL HINT: Be sure to cut the onions in uniform slices, and use the best cheese you can afford.

That’s it! Enjoy, and have a lovely, warm, happy winter. And don’t forget the potluck on December 3.  I’ll miss you all like a front tooth!

Have a delicious week!

Best,
