Reading this recipe does not give you a full picture of the dish. You have to try it and when you do it will disappear!!!

This was 50-50 in my house. The actual taste was good but I was turned off by the texture of the clumpy soggy chips even though it added great flavor. Also when I served it at the beginning of dinner it was quite runny. Later when some came back for seconds it had a better texture - the cheese had hardened a bit rather than running through the casserole - so I would suggest letting it sit 10 min. before serving. Last week I found "Festive Onions" on this site which we loved - easy great tasting and a beautiful presentation - souffle looking - definitely fit for company. I'm still on the fence about this one - not sure I'll make it again.

i LOVED this dish although i didn't have any faith in it at all until the very last moment it was done the ingredients just looked weak and weird to me..but who knew? VERY delicious..i would definitely make it again would be nice to serve guests as well but i would not make it as the main dish this time..and if i make it for two of us again i will half the recipe i hated having to throw out the rest..Thanks a lot for sharing it!

I made this to take to a community BBQ this evening and came home with an empty pan! It was fabulous. I didn't have any beef bullion so I substituted beef broth for the water and bullion. Since bullion is so salty I sprinkled some Tony Cacheres' Creole Seasoning on the onions as they were cooking to make up for the lack of flavor from not using bullion. I will definitely make this one over and over and over again!

Hey Kelly I'm impressed! I love raw onions but don't care for cooked because they become so sweet. I halved this recipe thinking that my hubby would be the only one who would enjoy this dish. How wrong I was!! Not only did Drew devour his portion but the kids thankfully tried it and gobbled up theirs. I really loved it too and was scraping the sides of the casserole to get every last morsel! I didn't have any chips on hand so I used salsa flavored "Bugles" instead. Trust me I'll certainly be making this again!!

This was really good. Like everyone else I thought it'd be weird but it's quite tasty. I ended up using leftover french onion soup but drained the liquid and it turned out great.
