Crockpot Caramelized Onions

Ingredients

• 4 to 6 large sweet or yellow onions
• 1/4 to 1/2 cup butter (NOT margarine ) OR 1/4 to 1/2 cup olive oil

Steps to Make It

1. Peel onions and cut off some of the top and bottom. Do not separate into rings and do not chop or slice the vegetables.
2.  In a 4-6 quart crockpot, place peeled whole onions and top with the butter or olive oil. Cover and cook on low for 9 to 11 hours: 7 to 8 hours if you have a newer, hotter cooking crockpot. 
3. Stir the mixture; the onions will fall apart. Let cool for about 20 minutes, then serve, or cool completely and store in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
