OH BOY!! this was sooo goood!! I used Spanish onions, blue cheese and 2% milk, wonderful taste treat. Served it as a side with pork chops. The onions, blue cheese and paprika are a great combination of flavours. It is supposed to be for 4 and I hate to admit it but, the two of us ate it all!! This is going in my hard copy, thanks for sharing!!
