2. Sauté the Onions: In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Once the butter is melted and starting to bubble, add the chopped onions. Sauté the onions, stirring occasionally, for about 10 minutes or until they become tender and translucent. This process will bring out the natural sweetness of the onions, making them a delicious component of the final dish.

3. Prepare the Flour Mixture: While the onions are cooking, in a medium-sized bowl, combine the self-rising flour, salt, and black pepper. Stir these ingredients together to ensure they are evenly mixed. This will form the base of your cheese and onion mixture, adding a subtle flavor and helping to thicken the final dish.

4. Mix in the Cheeses: Add 1 cup of shredded cheddar cheese to the flour mixture, stirring well to coat the cheese with the flour. This will help to distribute the cheese evenly throughout the dish and give it a creamy texture when baked.

5. Combine Ingredients: Once the onions are cooked, add them to the flour and cheese mixture. If you’re using jalapeño for a touch of heat, add it now. Stir everything together until the onions and cheese are evenly mixed with the flour.

6. Transfer and Bake: Pour the mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it out evenly. Top the mixture with the remaining 1¼ cups of shredded cheese, ensuring a nice, cheesy crust on top.

7. Bake the Dish: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake uncovered for 30 minutes. You’ll know the dish is ready when the cheese is melted, bubbly, and starting to turn golden brown. The aroma will be irresistible, drawing everyone to the table.

8. Cool and Serve: After baking, allow the dish to cool slightly before serving. This will help the cheese set a bit, making it easier to scoop and serve. Enjoy your Lovin’ Onions as a flavorful side dish or a delightful brunch option.
