Lovin' Onions

By Susan52

If you've never eaten onions baked like this...boy, are you in for a treat! We call these baked onions "Lovin' Onions," 'cause just one bite and you're going to be lovin' them! (You'll also love how easy they are.)

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon butter
• 7 onions, coarsely chopped (about 7-cups)
• 1/2 cup self-rising flour
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon pepper
• 1 1/4 cups (5-ounces) shredded Cheddar cheese, divided
• 1 1/4 cups (5-ounces) shredded Monterey jack cheese, divided
• 1 tablespoon jarred jalapeno peppers, drained and chopped (optional)

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Coat a 1-1/2-quart casserole with cooking spray.

In a large skillet over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add onions and sauté about 10 minutes, or until softened.

Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, combine flour, salt, and pepper. Add 1 cup of each cheese; mix well. Add jalapeño peppers, if desired, and cooked onions; mix well. Pour into prepared casserole dish. Combine remaining cheese and sprinkle evenly over onion mixture.

Bake 30 minutes, or until cheese is melted and bubbly.
