Tennessee Onions are the ultimate baked side dish, featuring sweet, caramelized onions in a creamy, cheesy sauce. Perfect for holiday dinners, barbecues, or cozy weeknight meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4–5 large sweet onions (Vidalia or yellow), peeled and sliced into thick rounds
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • Salt, to taste
  • Pepper, to taste
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Peel the onions and slice them into thick rounds, about 1/2 inch thick. Separate the rings gently.
  3. Arrange the onion rings flat in a 9×13-inch baking dish, overlapping slightly if needed.
  4. Sprinkle salt, pepper, and garlic powder evenly over the onion rings.
  5. Drizzle the melted butter over the onions, ensuring they’re well-coated.
  6. In a mixing bowl, combine the mozzarella, Parmesan, and Panko bread crumbs. Spread this mixture evenly over the onions.
  7. Cover the baking dish with foil and bake for 25 minutes.
  8. Remove the foil and bake for another 20 minutes, or until the cheese is golden and bubbly.
  9. Sprinkle with fresh parsley before serving (optional).

Notes

[‘Use sweet onions like Vidalia for the best flavor.’, ‘Chill onions in the fridge for 20 minutes before slicing to reduce eye irritation.’, ‘Cover the dish during the initial bake to ensure the onions become tender without drying out.’, ‘You can substitute Panko bread crumbs with crushed crackers or regular bread crumbs.’, ‘Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or Gruyère for a unique twist.’]
