I made this for the first time Thanksgiving 2013. I was told it needs to be made it every Thanksgiving after. It's also snuck itself into the Christmas dinner meal and a few other meals around the year. It's great with cream but I've also made it with whole milk and it's still amazing.
I love this simple dish. The onions are so sweet and creamy. We love them with some garlic cloves added in. You can keep the garlic cloves whole and pull them out at the end for the flavor without the worry of someone getting a mouth full of garlic.
Made these today to compliment prime rib roast for Christmas. Super yummy. I did not have honey on hand, so I used maple syrup (real) instead. hubby said they were a touch sweet, but I liked them. I let mine sit on the stove top for about 1.5 hours (with lid on the pan) before adding the cream.
