We love onions, so when I saw this it was a must make I cut the recipe by half but everything else was as the recipe directed and they were very nice. I think the next time I make them I will use maybe a salami sausage and Italian seasoning I think that would be nice also. Thank you for posting Made for PAC Spring 2011.
