Crock Pot Caramelized Onions
Report
Crock Pot caramelized onions take just 5 minutes, a splash of oil, salt, and pepper to get cooking and transform into a versatile, delicious large batch of golden brown, sweet onions that can easily be frozen for long term use.

Ingredients
- 3 lbs onions I prefer yellow, sweet, or vidalia
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
Instructions
- Prepare the onion by removing the ends, peeling the outer dried layers and then slicing the onion into roughly 1/2" slices.
- Place onions in the slow cooker and toss them with the oil, salt, and pepper to coat.
- Cook on low for 8-12 hours or until the onions are a deep caramel color.Note: If the onions have more liquid than you prefer, you can set the lid slightly ajar for the last 1-2 hours of cooking time to help them thicken up and become more jammy.
- Stir the onions and serve immediately, or save in the fridge for up to a week, or freezer for up to 3 months.
Notes
- Any traditional style onion will work! My favorites are:
- The first three are naturally sweeter so they produce that very signature sweet caramelized onion flavor well. Red onions turn to a beautiful purple color when caramelized and also have great flavor.
- You can use one of these, or do a mixture of several.
- Yellow onions
- Sweet onions
- Vidalia onions
- Red onions
