PD's Saturday Night Vidalia Onions

So what do you do with a bag full of Vidalia Onions? Well you could do what I did and go on a hunt for a simple easy recipe, there are ton's of them out there. I think I might have stumbled on one of my favorites so far.  Leave it to Paula Deen!

This recipe is very simple and if you're a fan of French Onion Soup you will love this.

 Start with four onions - well as many as you want really, why stop at four? You cut the very tops off and then peel the skin off but leave the root end in tact. Use a small knife to make a little cone in the top of each onion and then cut it in quarters but only going down to the root to about 1/2 inch.

You only need four ingredients total and that includes pepper. How easy is that? Spread out some of the layers and stuff in some butter, cram a beef bouillon cube in the middle, top with pepper and then wrap it tightly in some tin foil

After baking for about 45 minutes, open the foil in a bowl so you don't lose any of those juices. I cut it into bite sized pieces and discarded the root end.

This is how I ate mine.  Take a piece of baguette and toast it, top it with your favorite cheese, pour the onions and most importantly the juice onto the bread and eat it up.  I couldn't get enough of this.

If you're going on a camping trip anytime soon you have got to remember this one.  Heck, even if you're not it's one of my new favorite side dishes!
