Instructions

  1. Heat a skillet to medium heat. Add the butter to the skillet and allow it to melt.
  2. Then add the large mandolin sliced onions and a pinch of salt.
  3. Turn the stove to low heat and cover. Stir every 8-10 minutes to avoid burning and add a pinch of salt each time. Low and slow (and salt) is KEY for the ultimate caramelization of onions.
  4. After 45 minutes, start preparing the Success Boil-in-Bag White rice. Add the beef broth to a sauce pot and cook the White rice according to box instructions.
  5. Once the rice is finished cooking, set aside ¼ cup of beef broth before straining.
  6. When the onions are finished caramelizing (~45-55 minutes) and are golden brown, add the ½ of the gruyere cheese to the pan.
  7. Pour the cooked rice on top of the cheesy onions and top with remaining gruyere cheese. Stir together and add ¼ cup remaining beef broth, pepper and worcestershire.
  8. Garnish with fresh sage and/or green onion and enjoy!

Notes

  • For the most perfect caramelized onions, you want to go “low and slow”. Low heat will over a longer period of cooking time will allow the flavors to develop more deeply and prevent burning.

  • Continually adding a pinch of salt throughout the cook time (instead of all at once), I've found to give a more robust flavor, rather than the salt feeling like an afterthought.

  • This rice will hold up well in the fridge for up to five days. Reheat in the microwave for 60-90 seconds.
