Caramelized Onions
Caramelized onions have to be my favorite condiment ever. They’re so flavorful and can go on almost anything. I’ve blogged about putting them in a quesadilla and a dip so far.
After the burnt caramelized onions from last week, I decided I needed to come up with a method to make caramelized onions. And I figured that I’d post it here. I’m sure everyone out there has a way they do this, but this is what worked for me.
One Year Ago: Peanut Butter Brownies
Caramelized Onions
Ingredients:
1 onion, cut in half, then sliced
1/2 Tbsp olive oil
pinch salt
Directions:
Place olive oil in a 8" skillet with a lid. Turn heat on medium. Once the oil is warm, add the sliced onion.
Put a lid on the skillet. After about 2 minutes, give the onions a quick stir. If they are starting to brown/burn, turn the heat down a bit. Put the lid back on and set the timer for 5 minutes.
The onions should be soft, but not brown at this point. Remove the lid and stir the onions.
Add a pinch of salt to the onions. Continue to cook without the lid for another 10-15 minutes until caramelized completely.

This sounds awesome! The pictures are wonderful as well. I can’t for the life of me figure out how to get good burger pictures. I love the pizza sauce on this! Thanks!
Yum! I love chicken parmesan and I love burgers, so why not, right? They look delicious!

I love how there are so many variations of burgers! Yours sound delcious!
I love chicken parmesan so this sound so great to me! Like you, I love living in the city but wish I could grill during the summer!
So glad you liked them! Love the caramelized onions on top. I just had a burger with bbq caramelized onions this week. 🙂
i love this idea! was writing my grocery list and realized there is no parmesan in the recipe?
That’s a good point, there isn’t actually Parmesan in it… You could use parm instead of provolone cheese.
