Vidalia Onion Casserole…

My brother-in-law loves onions; he has sliced onions with every almost every meal. When we were house hunting and living with them, I was in charge of the cooking.  I wanted to find a way to cook the onions, to entice the kids to eat them too. I found this recipe from Sandra Lee, of Semi-homemade. The casserole wasn’t a big hit with the kids, the adults loved it.
The onions were sweet, cheesy and the Ritz crackers are the ingredient to pull it all together. If you can’t find Vidalia onions, try a similar sweet or yellow onion.
Ingredients:
6 Vidalia onions (peeled and sliced very thinly)
½  cup butter
30 Ritz Crackers (one sleeve, coarsely crushed)
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350°F
Over medium heat, melt butter in a saucepan
Sauté onions until they start to turn golden brown
Butter or spray a 2 qt baking dish, then layer half the onions, Ritz crackers and cheese
Repeat layering topping with cheese.
Bake uncovered for approximately 25 minutes, or the cheese on top is slightly brown.
