How to Make Golden Onion Casserole
- Melt 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 4 large yellow onions, thinly sliced, and sauté for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until deeply caramelized and golden brown.
- Transfer the caramelized onions to a 2-quart greased baking dish.
- In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) butter over low heat.
- Whisk in 1/4 cup all-purpose flour and cook for 2 minutes, stirring constantly, until the mixture is smooth and golden.
- Gradually whisk in 2 cups milk and 1 cup beef bouillon, stirring constantly until the sauce thickens.
- Season with 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, and 1/4 cup dry sherry. Simmer for 6-7 minutes.
- Pour the sauce over the caramelized onions in the baking dish.
- Sprinkle 1 1/2 cups shredded Gruyere cheese (or Swiss cheese) evenly over the onions.
- Brush 4 slices of bread (about 1/2 inch thick) with melted butter.
- Arrange the bread slices on top of the cheese, completely covering the casserole.
- Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) for 30-35 minutes, or until the bread is golden brown and the casserole is bubbly.
