Lady and Son's Onion-Cheese Bread - Paula Deen

Another wonderful recipe courtesy Paula Deen Television Food Network, 2003. This is very good and oh so cheesy. Edited 06/01/07 I have made it again and the one thing I have to add is to caramelize the onions before you use them and if you choose, use a heart-healthy baking mix.
