creamed onions

[hoosierlogger]

Melt (not boil) 3/4 cup butter

wisk in 3/4 cup flour, 3/4 tsp salt, 1/2 tsp ground black pepper

Gradually add in 3 cups milk while stiring. DO NOT BOIL

Cut ends off on onions and remove skin. I like to use pearl onions or the slightly larger boiling onions. You can use small to medium yellow onions. just dont use more than 10 or so.

cook in large pot on medium for 40 to 45 minutes. NEVER BOIL

Welcome to awesome!!! Enjoy.

note, If you like softer onions, you can boil them in water before adding to the gravy.

Years ago I would plant about 10 pounds of onion sets in rows fairly close together. When they got to this size of a quarter or so I'd pull out every other one, clean em and cook them in chicken stock (homemade) just til they started getting soft, pack em in containers with the stock they were cooked ln, keep them submerged in the stock, it's ok to water down the stock down to stretch it out. Come winter you can use em in soups, stews and creamed onions.
I don't plant anymore the mind says go, but the body says No! Now I go to the local farmer and order a mess of em. The girl's love me 'cause they don't have to clean em. I save the tops and the stems the same way....ed

throw in some sausage and you have sausage gravy.
