What's going with dinner tonight? Drunken Onions

I had these onions for the first time a few years ago while on a business trip. 
We went to a burger place and they had these onions on most of the burgers.
I fell in love instantly! 💓

I called home and told my husband I had just had the best burger ever and it was due to the onions! 🧅

When I got back home I could not wait to try and duplicate!

I have made these many times since.
I made a pizza with these onions.
Homemade dough and these onions.
OH MY!
Add a glass of wine.... heaven! 

This is such a simple recipe.
It wow's everyone!

Try on burger too!
I made this at the last minute tonight.
I had thawed some ground meat and asked everyone what they wanted me to make with it for dinner. 
They said they wanted burgers.
I looked over and saw onions and thought I have the perfect thing to do with them!

First peel the onion and cut off the ends.


Next slice the onion


Add to skillet


Turn stove to medium high and cook.
Do not add anything yet. Just add to dry pan on medium high heat.


Once it starts to brown, add a 1/2 pat of butter- 1/2 teaspoon.
Keep stirring.
Once the butter is absorbed and is browning, add another 1/2 teaspoon of butter. Keep stirring.

Now comes the good part. 
Add some wine.
Not much, just about 3-4 tablespoons.
Add your favorite drinking wine.
I have used a dry red, dry white, zinfandel and moscato. 


It will absorb quickly.

Once absorbed, the onions are done!

But wait, you too need to enjoy a glass of wine while cooking the onions.
Get in touch with your inner Julia Child!
This is a Pink Moscato I added to the onions (and my glass)
(I tried something new)


Now add the onions to whatever you are serving tonight.

(If having a burger, don't add condiments! Try the burger first. 
This jazzes up the burger so much you will not need the condiments!)

Enjoy your drunken onions!

Recently we became a dog family  🐶 We now have a puppy!  He is currently 10 weeks old. I am in love! 💙 My fury little boy. He he is spoiled.... lots of hugs, kisses, toys and of course love! He is eating healthy, per Doctor's orders! He does not get the leftovers from our dinner. He loves sweet potatoes, carrots, potatoes, blueberries, strawberries, plain yogurt, puppacinos and of course doggie ice cream! But, this recipe is for his absolute favorite (so far) dessert- Apple Cinnamon Cookies. 2 1/2 cups quick cooking oats 1 cup apple cinnamon applesauce 2 large egg Take 2 cups of oats, put in blender or  food processor. Blend until consistency of flour. Add the oats plus the remaining 1/2 cup flour, applesauce and eggs in a  large bowl.  Mix well. Drop by spoonful onto a parchment lined cookie tray. I shaped mine - Just used the spatula and shaped them.  They should not be too thick for a puppy! Bake in a 350 degree oven for 20 minutes or until lightly gol...

What's For Dinner Tonight? Meatloaf

Image
Some look at meatloaf as boring! That's because, you have never had MY meatloaf! I have been making my meatloaf this way for many years. It started out innocently.  I did not have enough bread to make meatloaf. I thought what could I use to substitute the bread?! The same thing happened one day when I did not have any onions. This recipe was re-vamped twice into this recipe! First start off with 2 pounds of ground beef (any type you prefer), or ground chicken or turkey. Add to the ground meat, 1 large egg. No eggs? Use 1 heaping tablespoon of applesauce! Add 3/4 cup milk (any type). Salt and Pepper to taste. IF you have an onion, chop up 1 small onion and add. No onion?! Add either chopped/mined garlic or 1 teaspoon of garlic powder. I use the garlic or garlic powder. I prefer the taste! Now comes the "breading." The thing that changes this meatloaf  from boring old meatloaf to meatloaf that will wow anyone! Crack...
