Sweet tender caramelized onions are the perfect addition to any dish and the perfect topper to any sandwich!

Ingredients
- 6 large onions approx. 2 pounds, any kind, I prefer white onion
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- ½ tablespoon brown sugar optional, see note
- salt to taste
Or Slow Cooker Caramelized Onions
- 3 pounds onions sliced
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- ½ teaspoon salt
Instructions
Stovetop
- In a large non-stick pan, cook onions, butter, olive oil and brown sugar over medium low heat.
- Stir frequently until golden and caramelized. (About 45 minutes).
Slow Cooker
- Combine sliced onions, butter and salt (no brown sugar required).
- Stir, cover and cook on low 8-10 hours.
Notes
- If you are using sweeter onions (red onions, Walla Walla, vidalia) you will likely not need the brown sugar as they contain enough natural sugars on their own. If using white onions (with yellow-ish papery skin) I would suggest adding brown sugar to help with the caramelization process.
