Recipe Instructions:
-
Begin by preparing the onions. Cut each onion in half, then slice the halves into 1/2-inch-thick slices.
-
In a 3 1/2 quart slow cooker, combine the sliced onions, chicken broth, beef broth, butter, and margarine.
-
Cover the slow cooker and cook on HIGH for 8 hours, or until the onions are golden brown and very soft. The slow cooking process will allow the onions to caramelize slowly, developing rich flavor and tender texture.
-
Once the onions are caramelized to perfection, remove them from the slow cooker and transfer them to an airtight container for storage.
-
These caramelized onions can be refrigerated for up to 2 weeks or frozen for up to 2 months, allowing you to enjoy their delicious flavor whenever you please.
Recipe Notes:
- For best results, use sweet onions such as Vidalia or Walla Walla for their natural sweetness and mild flavor.
- If you prefer a deeper caramelized flavor, you can cook the onions on LOW for a longer period of time, up to 10-12 hours.
- These caramelized onions are incredibly versatile and can be used as a topping for burgers, pizzas, salads, or incorporated into soups, stews, and sauces for added depth of flavor.
- Experiment with different broth flavors, such as vegetable or mushroom broth, to customize the taste to your liking.
- Feel free to adjust the amount of butter and margarine according to your personal preference for richness and flavor intensity.
