Maybe you don’t use a lot of caramelized onions in your everyday cooking. Let me give you a few ideas of how to use them. Any sandwich ever, tastes better with some sweet onions, burgers, scrabbles or omelets, my amazing onion dip and just about any cooked veggie side, like a roasted one pan meal or mashed potatoes! A lot of quick meals will taste even better and more flavorful with the addition of some caramelized onions.

Now that I have convinced you that you need to make caramelized onions in your slow cooker, let me show you how easy it is! I have also included a short video tutorial on how to make caramelized onions in a slow cooker below.

Let’s get cooking!

Make a big batch ahead to add to eggs, sandwiches, soups, even salads this week! 

Prep Time 10 minutes
Cook Time 9 hours
Total Time 9 hours 10 minutes

Ingredients

  • 4 Large sweet onions
  • 2 tablespoons butter

Instructions

  1. Cut up the onions so they fit into your food processor. I cut my large onions into quarter or a little smaller since they were so large. See the video for examples.
  2. Chop the onions until small, I have a Bosch mixer with a slicer shredder attachment, as you can see in the video! Works great!
  3. Add the onions and butter to your slow cooker
  4. Stir once in a while for even cooking, about once ever two hours or so.
  5. Set your slow cooker to low and cook about 9 hours, until caramelized
  6. Store in a airtight tupperware, the onions are good for at least 10 days

Notes

Helpful Equipment-food processor/ slicer shredder, slow cooker
