Nonnie’s Vidalia Onion Casserole
I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving! I cooked all day Wednesday and most of the day yesterday and everything was delicious! Thankfully, my son-in-law Chris made the turkey and my daughter made mashed potatoes and cranberry sauce! We always have too much food, but we have a tradition that everyone comes back on Friday after Thanksgiving for dinner and we eat the leftovers (on paper plates)! I love Thanksgiving, but the casualness of Friday when we all just eat on our laps and laugh and talk is so much fun too!
As promised…here’s the recipe for my moms Vidalia Onion Casserole! I’ve been eating this Vidalia Onion Casserole for longer than I can remember and making it myself for what seems like forever. It’s one of those recipes that’s so simple and delicious it doesn’t even make sense.
For some reason, I only make it for Thanksgiving and Christmas and maybe it’s because my mom only made it at Thanksgiving and Christmas. Holidays do seem to bring back so many memories of all kinds and so many revolve around food. I hope you enjoy this recipe and make some food memories for your family!
Vidalia Onion Casserole
Ingredients
- 6 large vidalia onions, peeled and sliced very thinly
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1⁄2 cup butter
- 30 Ritz crackers (I used a little more because I like the crunch)
- 1 - 1/2 cups finely grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
- Melt butter in a large saucepan.
- Add onions to pan and sauté over medium heat until soft and just starting to brown, about 20-25 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Place half of the onions in the baking dish and cover with half the crackers and half of the Parmesan.
- Repeat to make another layer of onions, crackers and Parmesan. Bake uncovered, until cheese on top is lightly browned, about 25 minutes. Serve warm.
- You can make this a day ahead and it's simply Delicious!
