This looked very impressive with Christmas dinner. I placed the onions around the standing rib roast and used the same horseradish sauce for both. They were delicious and got rave reviews...I think they thought I went to alot of trouble, but it was easy. I did all but the last 5 minutes early, too...bonus! Thanks for the great onion recipe without loads of cheese!
