Kittencal's Caramelized Onions

These are fantastic with burgers and steaks, or focaccia or anything that you want to use them with --- these freeze very well, to freeze just divide into small plastic containers then defrost in the microwave or thaw in refrigerator overnight

• Ready In: 30 mins
• Yields: 3 onions

Ingredients

• 3  large onions, thinly sliced (preferably sweet onions)
• 2  tablespoons butter or 2  tablespoons margarine
• 1  tablespoon  oil
• 2  teaspoons brown sugar
• 1⁄2 teaspoon salt (or to taste)
•  fresh coarse ground black pepper (optional and to taste)

Directions

1. In a skillet, melt the butter with oil over medium-high heat; add the sliced onions then sprinkle the sugar over the onions; cook stirring with a wooden spoon for about 20-25 minutes or until onions become golden brown and tender (depending on the size of your skillet try not to use more than 4 onions at a time or they will not caramelize properly).
