Tennessee Onions
With a mild and sweet onion flavor and piles of ooey gooey cheese, Tennessee Onions is an easy side dish that’s perfect with so many dishes!
Ingredients
- 3-4 large Vidalia sweet onions, or any sweet onions
- 4 tablespoons butter
- ½ teaspoon salt, adjust according to preference
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon oregano
- ½ teaspoon dry mustard
- ¼ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, finely shredded
- 1 cup Sharp cheddar cheese, finely shredded
- ½ cup Parmesan cheese, finely shredded
Equipment
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Coat a 9×13-inch baking dish with non-stick cooking spray.
- Clean and peel the Vidalia sweet onions. Slice them into rounds approximately ¼ inch thick.
- Separate each onion ring into thirds so they cook evenly. Don't leave them nested. (You don't need to completely separate, it's okay if 2 or 3 are attached.)
- Spread the onions evenly in the baking dish.
- In a small bowl, add the salt, garlic powder, oregano, dry mustard, and cayenne pepper. Whisk together.
- Sprinkle the onions with the mixed seasonings.
- Cut the butter into eight pats. Add these butter pats evenly across the seasoned onion rings.
- Sprinkle both cheeses evenly over the onion rings. Finish with a final topping of shredded Parmesan cheese.
- Bake for 35-40 minutes until the cheese is browned and bubbling.
- Serve right out of the oven, nice and hot, but still good if you serve warm.
- Makes a great potluck dish, or serve on burgers, hot dogs, with meat, on a grilled cheese sandwich, or on pizza
