Creamed Onions Recipe (Mountain Alternative)

Fr. Dan's Mountain addition/alternative to his Mother’s and Sister’s creamed onions recipe (as featured in the December e-newsletter) …     

Tender the peeled onions in a microwave or briefly in boiling water.

Place onions in the buttered casserole dish with their cut top up.  Prior to pouring the prepared cheese sauce over the onions, pour a mixture of a  tablespoon of vermouth or balsamic vinegar melted with an additional ¼ stick of butter and a ¼ cup of grated Parmesan cheese spooned on top of the onions.

Place a square of Swiss, provolone or Jarlsburg cheese on each onion to brown up during the baking (Bake at 350 at least 45 minutes, until nice and bubbly on edges).
