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,
