How to Make Cheesy Onion Bake
- Preheat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Thinly slice 3 large Vidalia onions (about 3 cups sliced).
- Lightly grease a 2-quart casserole dish. Arrange the onion slices evenly in the dish.
- In a heavy saucepan, melt 4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) of butter over low heat.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour until smooth. Cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups of milk. Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring continuously until the sauce thickens and becomes bubbly (about 5-7 minutes).
- Remove from heat and stir in 2 cups of shredded cheddar cheese and 1/2 teaspoon of salt until melted and smooth.
- Pour the cheese sauce evenly over the onions in the casserole dish.
- Bake uncovered for 60-70 minutes, or until the onions are tender and the topping is lightly golden brown.
