Tennessee Onions
Ingredients:
3-4 Vidalia sweet onions
4 tablespoons of unsalted butter
1 teaspoon of salt adjust according to preference
1 teaspoon of garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon of oregano
1 cup of Italian blend cheese finely shredded
1 cup of cheddar cheese finely shredded
½ cup of parmesan cheese finely shredded
Instructions:
-Begin by preheating the oven to a temperature of 350°F (175°C). Subsequently, coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with a suitable non-stick cooking spray.
-After cleaning and peeling the Vidalia sweet onions, position them sideways and proceed to slice them into rounds that are approximately ¼ inch in thickness.
-Following this, it is necessary to separate the sliced rounds into individual onion rings.
-Next, arrange the separated onion rings uniformly across the base of the previously prepared baking dish. Once arranged, season the onion rings evenly with the salt, garlic powder, and oregano.
-The butter should then be cut into roughly eight even portions or pats. Distribute these butter pats evenly across the seasoned onion rings in the baking dish.
-Continue by uniformly sprinkling the Italian blend cheese and cheddar cheese over the arranged onion rings. Finish this cheese layering with a final topping of the shredded parmesan cheese.
-Once assembled, place the baking dish into the preheated oven. Allow the dish to bake for a duration of 35-40 minutes. The dish should be removed when the cheese has begun to brown and bubble.
-For optimal taste, it is advised to serve the dish promptly while it remains warm.
