Crockpot Caramelized Onions

Have you ever made real caramelized onions? Not the kind where you saute for a minute and pour in some sugar for the caramelized taste. But the REAL caramelized onions where the onions are cooked just perfectly so that it caramelizes in it’s own sugars.  They’re heavenly! I could seriously just eat them plain right out of the skillet, but they pretty much make any dish way better.  Steak with caramelized onions, hot dogs smothered in caramelized onions,… I’m getting hungry just thinking about it.

The trick to these amazing caramelized onions is to pretty much leave them alone and let them cook for a long period of time over low heat.  I’m not kidding, it takes forever.  And with 3 small, curious little kiddos, I really can’t walk away from a stove that’s on!  So it seemed like a pretty obvious leap to put these in the slow cooker for Crockpot Caramelized Onions.

Crockpot Caramelized Onions are ridiculously simple to make with just 2 ingredients, butter and onions. Throw it in the Crockpot in the morning, and have all your sweet, butter Crockpot Caramelized Onions goodness by dinner.
