Devlins Thanksgiving Onion Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• Cook onion wedges in 1 C water mixed with 1/2 t salt until tender, covered. Reserve 1 C onion water for sauce. Drain.
• Melt 4 T butter. Stir in 2 T flour and cook over medium heat, stirring, for five minutes. Slowly add reserved onion water and whisk until smooth. Add pepper sauce.
• Whisk together: light cream and egg. Add a little of the onion sauce and whisk to warm the cream mixture. Add remaining onion sauce and continue whisking over low heat, until it's the consistency of heavy cream. Be careful not to overcook the egg.
• Toss sauce with onions and put in a shallow casserole, greased with softened butter.
• Top with cubed bread, cheddar and romano cheeses, tossed with 8 T melted butter.
• Bake at 350 for 30 - 35 minutes, until top is golden.

Steps:

• Set a large skillet over medium heat and add the sausage. Cook until browned and cooked through, 7 to 9 minutes. Remove the sausage with a slotted spoon and drain on a paper towel lined plate. Without cleaning the skillet, add the apples, onion and sage and cook until the onion has softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and set aside.
• Mix together the eggs, milk and half-and-half in a large pitcher or bowl. Season with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Grease a large casserole dish with some butter. Layer in half the English muffins, half the sausage, half the apple/onion mixture and half the cheese. Repeat with the other half of the same ingredients, ending with the cheese. Slowly pour the egg mixture all over the top. Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
• Remove the pan from the fridge 20 to 30 minutes before baking. Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Replace the plastic wrap on top of the casserole with aluminum foil. Bake for 35 to 40 minutes, then remove the foil and continue to bake until the top is golden brown and slightly crisp, 10 to 15 minutes more.
• Sprinkle with the chopped parsley. Serve warm and enjoy.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
• Melt the butter in a large skillet, add onions and saute until soft.
• Remove from heat and add sour cream.
• Mix thoroughly.
• Scoop half of the onion mixture into a small greased casserole dish.
• Top with parmesan cheese.

• Sprinkle the top with Ritz crackers.
• Bake for 30 minutes at 350 degrees.

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.
