These are good! I will add more carmelized onions next time because we love them. Thanks for sharing!

These were so incredibly good! Did what previous reviewers did, and sauteed onions in butter and added the last 10 minutes of baking. Made these for dinner last night and having them for lunch today. No more Mrs. T's for me! Thanks for posting. :)

Happy to see that you posted this recipe. It is very good and a nice dish to take to parties. I use a small chopped onion verses the onion flakes.
