Tennessee Onions

Tennessee Onions

So here is something completely out of left field. And also completely wonderful.

I had this Sweet Onion left from what is now casually called “SmashFest2023®”. So this is one onion, one man, one 9″x9″ glass dish.

This is a take off of something that is called a Tennessee Onion.

And it is…fantastic.

I sliced one sweet onion in about 1/4 thin slices and kept them in their circles. I placed them in a glass dish that was coated with olive oil to keep them from sticking. Heat up your oven to 350°.

I coated them with…

Dried thyme

Dried parsley flakes

Garlic powder

Dried oregano

Dry mustard

Cayenne pepper

I topped this Kerrygold butter, smoked gouda and cheddar. About a handful of each.

This went into the oven for 20 minutes, covered with foil. Then I pulled off the foil, turned off the oven and went paddle boarding for an hour. I don’t think this is a good process, but they really still turned out quite good.

Think of this as a solid side dish. I don’t write up a lot of side-dishes, so this is my first attempt. And, it really is very good. Put this on any burger, steak, chicken or (god forbid) hot dog and you will be considered a master chef.
