Caramelized Vidalia Onion Casserole is rich, decadent, and filling. This meatless family dinner recipe is made in one pan making clean-up wonderfully short!

Caramelized Vidalia Onion Casserole

This is much like French onion soup. It has the same deep, rich flavors. I realize French Onion Soup may be more of a winter dish, therefore, my Caramelized Vidalia Onion Casserole more of a winter casserole. But, I never follow food rules so we’re having this wonderfully tasty casserole right in the heat of summer!

Surprisingly, even my veggie hating teenager asked, “Mom, what are you cooking? It smells wonderful!” #winwin

Caramelized Vidalia Onion Casserole

  1. You can easily add chicken to this recipe if you have meat eaters in your house. I would cut two boneless, skinless chicken breasts into cubes. Add 1 to 2 tablespoons vegetable oil to pan your pan (before you saute onions), saute chicken 7 to 8 minutes stirring occasionally until it is cooked through. Remove the chicken from pan and continue caramelizing onions as instructed below.
  2. A pint of button mushrooms would also be good in this recipe. Add sliced mushrooms for the last 6 to 7 minutes when you are cooking the onions.
  3. You can use regular pasta, quick-cooking pasta, gluten-free pasta, or whole-grain pasta.
  4. Read this post on How to Store Onions.

When I was young, I would not dare to eat onions. Then I tried caramelized onions and was hooked!

    Just made this and Omg its so rich, hearty, complex in flavor and delicious! Would pair amazingly with a balsamic vinegar or citrus dressed salad with tomatoes.
    Thank you so much for the recipe. I’m addicted to caramelized onions and this is the perfect use for them. I think I’ll try using yellow onions next time as I enjoy the nutty flavor of them and they tend to caramelize faster and more even for me.
