Roasted French Onion - Onion

AzureLynn's Note:

My mother gave me this recipe. She states she saw it on a cooking show. I decided to give it a try and fell in love with it. I love onions any way -- roasted, carmelized and even fresh. I am giving her credit and putting it here for others to enjoy!

• Total Time: 1 hrs 10 mins
• Prep Time: 10 mins
• Cook Time: 1 hrs

Ingredients:

Servings: 1

• 1 large fresh onion
• 2 -3 teaspoons beef bouillon granules
• 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
• 1 ounce of shredded provolone cheese or 1 ounce mozzarella cheese or 1 ounce swiss cheese

Directions:

1. Cut the ends off the onion, just enough that it will rest flat on its root end.
2. Peel off outer dry layers.
3. Cut into wedges leaving the root end intact.
4. Place on a square of heavy foil.
5. Top with boullion and butter.
6. Wrap securely, be sure that you do not poke holes in the foil-- you want the juices to stay in there with the onion.
7. Bake at 350 for 45 min to 1 hour.
8. Remove from foil into a serving bowl and top with cheese while HOT.
9. Enjoy with a piece of crusty french bread.

Delicious! I had a small onion, so I halfed the recipe and had it as a snack. I will try this at work for lunch by cooking it in the microwave.

We liked it, just didn't love it. A very neat way to do onions, however we found the taste a little too 'chemically' for us due to the large amount of beef granules. Thanks for posting!

Fixed this vegetarian style by substituting Knorrs Veggie Bouillion. I microwaved it in a covered corningware dish (I needed it cooked quick. It was fantastic.
