I recommend cooking the onions for about 10 minutes or until they’re soft before assembling the casserole. This mellows the flavor.

As well, I highly recommend you seek out Vidalia onions or other sweet onions for this casserole.

I love crackers mixed with butter as a topping for casseroles as you can probably tell by my Squash Casserole and Corn Casserole. However, cheese would be an alternate topping. Cheddar, Colby, Havarti, or any good melty cheese would make a splendid topping.

When adding cheese, top the casserole with the cheese the last 10 minutes of cooking. The cheese should be melted and bubbly and starting to brown on the top.

    This was absolutely delightful, insanely yummy and saved Christmas dinner at our house! Long story, short – late Christmas Eve night I realize I forgot to pick up asparagus for our prime rib Christmas dinner. The only thing open for at-least 40 miles is a gas station that sometimes carries produce. It is 10 minutes before they close and all they had left was some sad tomatoes and a big basket of beautiful sweet onions. I grabbed six, googled a recipe and came up with this one. What a find and the family loved it! We now have a new side item for our traditional dinner. And I didn’t cook the onions before putting them in the oven – they were perfect. Thank you!!!

    1. I LOVE this!!! So happy you found my recipe and everyone liked it!! Thank you for commenting such a warm story!

  2. In Germany, there is an onion pie (similar to Zwiebeltorte but not this is not the local name which I cannot pronounce. The dish is served as a treadition in the spring with the early wine’s first de-corking. As a southerner, our onion ‘pie’ dishes were cooked similar to your recipe except without the crust underneath, created with toppings of crushed crackers, as you stated & using squash, as well is great!
    I was good until I saw the heavy cream; dairy doesn’t like me. Do you have any reasonable substitute to suggest?

    1. I made a roux with the heavy cream and flour so you could sub cashew milk or almond milk for the heavy cream.

  3. I’ve made this recipe for my family twice now. They all love it! But I was thinking of maybe adding squash to it this time. I’m just hoping it doesn’t ruin it.

  4. I’m questioning the nutritional content. I have kidney disease and must strictly limit my potassium and am just lost trying to follow these numbers! How many servings? Are these numbers absolutely correct? I would love to try this recipe but too much potassium could really hurt me – though I can’t follow where it’s coming from in this recipe. I would really appreciate help with this – thanks so much!!

    1. I didn’t realize the serving size wasn’t in the recipe. I have updated it. Those numbers are calculated by a program depending on the ingredients that I put in. They should be fairly accurate but can vary from brand to brand.

  5. I’m a little confused on the amount of flour you used. 1 tablespoon, when do the other two get added?

  6. Am I reading this recipe wrong? I am assuming you meant onions on stovetop. Also the recipe calls for 3 Tablespoons of flour, but you only mention 1 Tbsp in the directions.
