Lady and Son's Onion-Cheese Bread - Paula Deen

Manami's Note:

Another wonderful recipe courtesy Paula Deen Television Food Network, 2003. This is very good and oh so cheesy. Edited 06/01/07 I have made it again and the one thing I have to add is to caramelize the onions before you use them and if you choose, use a heart-healthy baking mix.

This was so easy to throw together. It was beautiful coming out of the oven and tasted great. I made it in a 9 inch round pan because it's all I have and it was fine. And I used the heart healthy bisquick mix. A big hit with the whole family. Thank's for sharing!!

I made this recipe for my adopted chef for PAC 2006! I prepared this exactly by the recipe and it turned out wonderful! I love the way the flavors blend together, ummm, onions, cheese, butter, chives - what could be more delicious! Thanks SusieQusie!
