2. Prepare Casserole Dish:

   • Butter a 2-quart casserole dish to prevent sticking.

3. Saute Onions:

   • In a large saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat.
   • Add the Vidalia onions to the pan and sauté until they become soft and just start to brown. This typically takes about 20-25 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure even cooking.

4. Layer Ingredients:

   • Once the onions are cooked, remove the saucepan from the heat.
   • Spread half of the cooked onions evenly in the bottom of the prepared casserole dish.
   • Cover the layer of onions with half of the buttery round crackers.
   • Sprinkle half of the grated Parmesan cheese over the crackers.
   • Repeat the layering process with the remaining onions, crackers, and Parmesan cheese.

5. Bake:

   • Place the assembled casserole dish in the preheated oven.
   • Bake the casserole, uncovered, until the cheese on top is lightly browned, which typically takes around 25 minutes.

6. Serve:

   • Once baked to perfection, remove the casserole from the oven and let it cool slightly.
   • Serve the Easy Vidalia Onion Casserole warm, and watch it disappear from the table!

Additional Tips:

• Make Ahead: If you want to prepare this dish in advance, you can assemble it up to a day ahead of time. Simply follow all the steps up until baking, then allow the casserole to cool. Once cooled, cover it tightly and refrigerate it until you’re ready to bake it. This makes it a convenient option for busy days or entertaining guests.
• Reheating: When you’re ready to serve, remove the casserole from the refrigerator and let it come to room temperature for about 30 minutes. Then, bake it according to the instructions provided until heated through. This ensures that the flavors meld together beautifully, creating a deliciously satisfying dish every time.
