Ingredients
2
medium
onions
peeled, sliced thin
2/3
cup
vegetable oil
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
In a small saucepan, heat vegetable oil over low-medium heat. Be careful as oil can splatter and burn.
When oil is heated up, add half of the onion slices. You know the oil is hot enough as the onion should slightly sizzle when added into the saucepan.
Cook onions for 7-9 minutes, or until golden brown, stirring occasionally to prevent them from sticking together.
Remove onions from saucepan and place on paper towel, blotting to remove excess oil. Sprinkle salt and pepper on to taste.
Repeat with remaining onions until they're all gone.
Serve on your favorite casserole, burger or steak! Enjoy!
