CARAMELIZED SHERRIED ONIONS

This is a kicked up version of my Recipe #51649. Garnish a steak or just top a good slice of bread as my DD would do. Top those burgers for the super bowl games. I do love caramelized onions but this is really good with the added sherry gives it a creaminess. This makes a great start to onions soup!

When our children were small, we always celebrated Christmas at our house. This was one of many recipes I relied on that could be prepared a day in advance, which gave me more time to spend with guests. Everyone expected to see this vegetable dish on the table every year. -Barbara Caserman, Lake Havasu City, Arizona
