Serving:1 quart

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup melted butter, divided
  • 8 onions, thinly sliced
  • 1 teaspoon salt

Cooking Directions

  1. Rub bottom and sides of slow cooker with 1/2 of the butter. Toss onions and salt with remaining butter in a bowl.
  2. Cook onions on Low until browned and sweet, about 10 hours.
Substitute butter with olive oil, if desired; After 10 hours of cooking, reserved liquid can be strained and used to make soup or sauce; Onions can be cooked longer for a deeper brown and more concentrated flavor, if desired. To reduce further, leave the liquid in and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are darker brown and the liquid is almost completely cooked off, 4 to 5 hours.
