the casserole, in progress

Boy am I in the mood for some comfort food!

All of the ingredients laid out

Now it’s a 45 minute wait before adding the crunchy onions!

Baked onion *finally* finished

So, the final pictures look pretty good!

Unfortunately it looked and smelled better than it tasted. I checked on the onions at the 1hr mark and they were still way too firm. I upped the temperature to 400 degrees and added another whole hour and fifteen minutes to the cook time. It was then I took them out and served them. They probably should have stayed in for a full 2 and a half hours at 400 degrees and it would have been much better.

It wasn’t quite as good as what I remembered, though we did use vidalia onions rather than mayan sweet, which are much much bigger… I think these onions would make a pretty good french onion soup, which I might try down the line. I will say that the broth was pretty good, though it should have been a little saltier, in my opinion. I used unsalted butter when maybe salted would have been better. *sigh* Notes for next time!

All things for when I try again, whenever that may be! Oh, and a smoothie for dessert!

Yum! G’night!
