This recipe is a ‘cheat’ but just as delicious way to get caramelized onions. I like to add caramelized onions to burgers, inside quiches, or even just eating them by themselves because it is so yummy (is that bad??) The key to this recipe is continuously stirring and making sure the onions do not burn while you are getting the moisture out of them. It takes around 20 minutes, and it is worth every second!
