I LOOOOVE onions, and I was sooo excited to discover this recipe!! The only thing I changed is that I used mozzarella cheese instead of the swiss (personal preference). I used half and half, and the texture and flavor of this dish was just out of this world!! Thank you, yooper, for a wonderful recipe!:) ~Manda

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite.
Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
