Killer Sweet Onion Casserole

Crust: 35 Ritz crackers, crushed (one sleeve)
3/4 c. butter, melted

Mix together and press into 9” pie pan

Saute 3 cups sliced sweet onions in 1/4 c. butter. Place onions on crust when soft.

Spread 2 c. shredded cheese (whatever’s your favorite) on top of onions.

Mix 3 eggs, 1/2 c. milk, 1/2 t. salt, 1/4 t. pepper and pour over top.

Bake at 350 for 30 min.

This recipe is a killer because of the multitude of cholesterol-producing ingredients. You can, however, turn it into a half-killer by using reduced fat Ritz, lowfat Country Crock margarine, skim milk, and egg beaters. Really, it’s not that bad.

This is a great accompaniment for grilling and is a fun, different dish to serve for company. I made it a couple of weeks ago and all that was left at the end of the meal was one lonely little sliver. My five-year-old even liked it. I guess it’s all that yummy butter and cheese.

So, whether you go for the full-killer version, or only the half…Enjoy!

When I make this I add a quart or two of buttermilk, pour it into a big veterinarian’s syringe and inject it directly into my arteries.

Judy, we have a similar recipe, but just with the crackers, onions, butter and parmesan cheese. It’s always a big hit. Your version sounds good, too. We’ll have to try it someday!

I’m on a health kick ( since coming back from New York. I have to do something.) I’m going to try your dish and just use the onions. 3 cups sliced sweet onions baked for 30 minutes. I’ll let you know how it comes out.
