Tennessee Onions are a delightful treat, and the combination of sweet onions and cheesy topping is sure to please your taste buds. Enjoy your meal!

Ingredients

• 3–4 Vidalia onions, sliced
• 4 Tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/2 teaspoon oregano
• 1/4 teaspoon paprika
• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 1 cup Italian blend cheese, shredded
• 1 cup cheddar cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, shredded
• Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Procedure

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Peel the onions and cut them into thick slices, approximately 1/2 inch thick. Separate the slices into rings and place them in a single layer in a baking dish.
3. In a small bowl, mix together the shredded Italian blend cheese, shredded cheddar cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic powder, oregano, paprika, salt, and pepper. This creates a flavorful cheesy topping.
4. Spoon the cheese mixture evenly over the onion slices, covering them with the mixture.
5. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes.
6. Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the onions are tender, and the top is golden and bubbling.

Variations and Serving Suggestions

• Bacon Bliss: For an extra layer of flavor, consider sprinkling crispy bacon bits on top of the cheesy mixture before baking.
• Herb Infusion: Add fresh herbs like thyme, rosemary, or chives to the cheese mixture for a herb-infused twist.
• Spicy Kick: If you enjoy a touch of heat, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes for a spicy version of Tennessee Onions.
