Creamed pearl onions have been a tradition at Thanksgiving for my husband's family. I don't think the nutmeg was in my mother-in-law's recipe, but my husband loves these. I make them a day ahead, then bring them to room temperature, top with 3/4 cup crushed Ritz crackers mixed with 2 tablespoons melted butter, then bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes. Read More

I will make this again. I did kick it up a notch by adding prepared frozen peas pinch more nutmeg and a pinch of chipotle powder. It was a hit with my family to accompany a beautiful Prime Roast. Read More

Though I don't like creamed onions my hubby insists on them for Thanksgiving. He said these are the BEST he's ever eaten and even remembered where the leftovers were in the fridge. I added a dash of chipotle seasoning as another person suggested and he liked the kick it gave the dish. These are on our permanent holiday list. Read More

Super quick to make as long as you don’t have to peel the onions. For newbies, really, don’t add all the cream at once and use a whisk over the stove or it clumps. Frozen pearl onions work quite well. Read More

Just like mom's but added a couple of teaspoons of brown sugar and used onions from a jar. Take 10 minutes to cook. Read More

I started with warming up the the onions the night before in frypan with a little olive oil and just a little butter. added 2 cups of chicken broth and about 1/3 bottle of left over pino noir for about and hour high heat to boil and soften up the onions. put it all in the fridge overnight. before dinner brought threw it all back in the frypan to warm up shifted in a little flour to thicken up and then added heavy cream to finish off when it was nice and thick.
