I love caramelized onions, but cooking them on the stove takes a long time and constant stirring. Lately, I have been trying out recipes for doing them in the slow cooker:
5 very large onions, sliced thinly, a little butter, and salt
14 hours on low in the slow cooker,
Small, but delicious result:
I freeze them and then pop them out whenever needed.
You really must not mind the house smelling strongly of onions for a day or two!

French onion soup without an hour cooking the onions to mellowness. Great idea, if one has a slow cooker.

Great idea. Maybe you should make a cookbook for your friends.
