Caramelized Onions in the crockpot?

Jan 23, 2014 08:31

I remember seeing a method of doing this in the crockpot itself here in this community. I can't remember when I saw and apparently I didn't save it. Could someone point me toward it?

Thanks,

No pointer, but I've been doing it.

Fill your crockpot with thinly sliced onions. As you layer the onions in, lightly coat with olive oil (or dot with butter). I'm using about a tablespoon of olive oil per big onion.

Put the lid on the crockpot slight askew - you want it to leak.

Turn the crockpot on high, and walk away. Come back in eight or ten hours. Look and see how they're doing - they should be done.

My crockpot has a hotspot where the onions will actually burn, so at about six or eight hours, I need to start stirring them. So it takes more like 12-14 hours for me.
