Creamed Onions

creamed-onionsWhat’s your families “must have” traditional side dish at Thanksgiving? Mac and Cheese? German Potato Salad? Lasagna? For my family it’s Creamed Onions.

Creamed Onions?

There’s a good chance you’ve probably never heard of this recipe before, but friends, I’m telling you, it’s something you should SERIOUSLY consider adding to your Thanksgiving menu line-up.

I also realize there are some of you who may not be onion fans, it’s okay, we can still be friends. But those of you who love onions are sure to love this side dish.

creamed-onionsThe best thing about Thanksgiving is having so many different foods on your plate and getting to choose what to combine for what bite. It’s so great. For me I love to get a little of the creamed onions on my fork and then go in for a piece of turkey and if there’s room left on the fork I snag a green bean or a piece of stuffing. Yum!

To be honest, I basically just want to dump the creamed onions over my entire plate and let all the things swim in it.

If you’re the type of person who loves sauteed onions with their steak you are going to love what creamed onions do for turkey.

Did I mention it has a layer of cheese on top.

The caramelized onions simmer in a white sauce made of chicken broth and heavy whipping cream. The end result is fantastic and the perfect accompaniment for turkey.

    This looks delicious! What kind of cheese did you use? I am making a turkey breast next week and planning on serving it with these creamed onions!
