If you have a slow cooker, the easiest way to caramelize onions is to cram it full of sliced onions, throw a stick of butter on top, and let it go on low for 18 hours. Be advised your house will smell VERY oniony about 4 a.m. if you start it after dinner. After the first time, I did it on the back porch.

I know that lots of people swear by this method. I tried it a couple of times and was never happy with the final result. I prefer both the taste and texture of onions done stove top but I do admit that it is a method that requires very little attention and perhaps I should give it another shot.

 

it occurred to me to wonder about caramelized onions in the instant pot and I came across this very interesting take on that idea!
