# Slow Cooker Caramelized Onions
|
|
|
|
## Ingredients:
|
|
- 3-4 lbs yellow onions (about 4-5 large onions)
|
|
- 1/4 cup olive oil or melted butter
|
|
- 1/2 tsp salt
|
|
- Optional: 1 tbsp balsamic vinegar
|
|
|
|
## Instructions:
|
|
|
|
1. Slice onions thinly and evenly. A mandoline can be helpful for consistency.
|
|
|
|
2. Place sliced onions in the slow cooker.
|
|
|
|
3. Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter and sprinkle with salt. Toss to coat evenly.
|
|
|
|
4. Cover and cook on LOW for 10-12 hours. Stir once or twice during cooking if possible, but it's not necessary.
|
|
|
|
5. If onions are too liquidy after cooking, remove the lid and cook on HIGH for an additional 30-60 minutes to reduce liquid.
|
|
|
|
6. Optional: Stir in balsamic vinegar for extra depth of flavor.
|
|
|
|
7. Let cool and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week, or freeze for up to 3 months.
|
|
|
|
## Notes:
|
|
- This method yields about 2 cups of caramelized onions.
|
|
- For a smaller batch, halve the recipe and use a smaller slow cooker.
|
|
- Caramelized onions can be used in soups, on sandwiches, pizzas, or as a condiment. |
