Instructions:
To start, follow these steps:
- Begin by peeling your sweet Vidalia onions and then slicing them into approximately 1/2-inch thick rings.
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Onion Magic
This is where the magic happens:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, gently place the onion rings into the skillet.
- Sprinkle the onions with salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Cook until the onions become translucent and slightly caramelized. This usually takes around 10-12 minutes.
Cheesy Goodness
The cheese is the heart of this dish:
- Once your onions are perfectly sautéed, transfer them to a baking dish, creating a single layer.
- Begin by sprinkling the shredded Italian blend cheese generously over the onions.
- Follow this with an even layer of the cheddar cheese.
- Finally, top everything off with the shredded parmesan cheese.
Baking Bliss
For the final touch:
- Pop your dish into the preheated oven and bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the cheese is bubbling and has a golden-brown hue.
- If you desire a more caramelized top, you can broil the onions for an additional 2-3 minutes. Just keep a close watch to prevent burning.
Serve & Enjoy
Now, let’s savor the delicious results:
- Once out of the oven, let the Tennessee Onions sit for a few minutes to cool slightly.
- Serve them as a side dish or even as a decadent topping on grilled meats. Either way, get ready for a burst of flavors that will transport you straight to the heart of Tennessee!
