Although this recipe originally referred to Vidalia onions, no self respecting Texan, pseudo-Texan, Texas resident, or anyone else who has ever tasted a Texas-1015 onion (named for their October 15 planting date) would consider using anything else. Any sweet onion will do in a pinch, however, even Vidalias. Prep time does not include overnight setting time.
