Time 20m

Yield 2 cups, 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons oil (canola)
4 large white onions (thick sliced)
4 teaspoons brown sugar
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon brown food coloring (optional)
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper

Steps:

  • Over medium heat, heat skillet before placing in butter and oil.
  • Add onion, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, and sugar.
  • Cook uncovered over medium heat, moving the onions around, until onions begin to get browned; approx.
  • 8-10 minutes.
  • Cover and reduce heat to medium-low and cook for an additional 13-15 minutes.
  • The onions will sweat down and be glossy and soft.
  • *(At this point for visual affects, I add 1/2 tsp. Gravy Master or Kitchen Bouquet) to give it a rich brown color.
  • Can be made in advance; freezes very well for the next Sunday roastbeef dinner.
  • Serve with hamburgers, roasts or steaks.
