Tennessee Onions — Better Than Onion Rings!
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Sweet onions (Vidalia recommended) | 3–4 |
| Butter | 4 tbsp |
| Salt | 1 tsp (adjust to taste) |
| Garlic powder | 1 tsp |
| Oregano | ½ tsp |
| Italian blend cheese | 1 cup |
| Cheddar cheese | 1 cup |
| Parmesan cheese | ½ cup |
Instructions
1. Prep the Onions
Peel the Vidalia onions and slice them into ½-inch thick rings. For extra crispiness, you can slice them at a slight angle.
2. Sauté the Onions
In a large skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the onion rings, sprinkle with salt, garlic powder, and oregano. Cook until translucent and lightly caramelized, about 10–12 minutes.
3. Layer the Cheese
Transfer the sautéed onions to a baking dish in a single layer.
• Sprinkle Italian blend cheese evenly over the onions
• Follow with cheddar cheese
• Top with Parmesan cheese
4. Bake to Perfection
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the cheesy onions for 10–12 minutes until bubbly and golden.
Optional: For a more caramelized top, broil 2–3 minutes—watch closely to prevent burning.
