All I can say is YUM! If I could rate it a 6, I would! I took Grease's advice the first time I made them and microwaved them for a bit (5 min in a container) and then buttered/seasoned and tossed them in the oven for 30 minutes. Can out great - realized I didn't have the right cheese so I subbed colby/jack which was fine (see pic above). Then the next day (today) when I was dying to have them again, I took some advice a friend at work gave me. She said to do the whole thing in the microwave (put it in a bowl with a plate set on top for a slightly vented seal). It actually worked great! So I microwave it for 10 minutes - top it with Kraft’s Italian blend and microwave it another minute or two and OH MY! Wonderful! (See the other picture above.) Thanks for sharing this one - it's an instant favorite – one I enjoyed almost daily for the first couple weeks after first trying it! Couldn’t get enough!

The flavor is superb, I did fix my alittle different since I cut through the onion. I went ahead and slice the onion and place it in a pie pan. I dotted it with the butter and sprinkle the bouillon over the top. Covere with foil then baked. When the onion was tender I place provolone cheese on top of it and covered until the cheese melted. Served it with crusty bread and a salad for a complete delicious meal. It is a little salty but again we really enjoyed this easy recipe.

So yummy and it is something different to serve! I used 2 tsp of bouillon and about 1/2 Tbsp butter and it was still great. My onion fell apart when I unwrapped it so I will be careful not to cut so far down next time. I think maybe leaving an inch or so at the bottom of the onion should do it! I used regular cooking onions and I was surprised at the sweet taste of the final product. I truly loved this and will make it many more times. Thanks a bunch!
