A rich and creamy onion casserole topped with melted cheese and buttery breadcrumbs, perfect for a comforting side dish.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • 1 cup grated cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise

  4. Transfer the mixture to a greased 1.5-quart baking dish.

For extra richness, you can substitute half the sour cream with cream cheese. This casserole can be assembled a day ahead and refrigerated before baking.
