<\/span>Slow Cooker Caramelized Onions<\/span><\/h2>\n
<\/div>\n
I love caramelized onions \u2013 as a topping for sandwiches, in soup, even in sauces (I puree them and it adds a special little something to gravies and sauces). They are great for making French onion soup \u2013 add broth and croutons and top with a little cheese.<\/span>
<\/div>Unfortunately it takes time to cook them down properly, and I always seem to want them when I have the least amount of time to make them.<\/span>
<\/div>The slow cooker turned out to be the perfect solution to my problem. I make them in batches and freeze them in small portions and then thaw them in the microwave when I want them. It\u2019s a great way to use up onions if they are starting to turn soft.<\/span><\/div>\n
