Easy Thanksgiving Recipes: Creamed Onion Casserole

November 11, 2014

Creamed onion casserole is a quick and easy Thanksgiving side dish.  While green bean casserole has been declared the favorite, this casserole is still worth reserving a spot for on the table.  A mountain of onion slices are cooked low and slow until they are sweet and golden brown.  The onions are combined with cream of mushroom soup, frozen  peas and cheddar cheese before being baked in the oven.  A cornbread crumb topping adds crunch and an extra layer of flavor.  Even if you do not prepare if for the holidays, this casserole is excellent alongside meatloaf, roast chicken or steak.
