This recipe is an instant favorite. It was simple to make. The best I could describe this is like a baked blooming onion but much tastier.

This recipe is excellent--and so easy! I didn't have any Romano cheese, so I increased the cheddar and Parmesan by about 1/2 cup each. I'm going to make this for Christmas instead of my usual creamed onions.

I liked it. The wife didn't care for it so much. Next Time I'll try it with a little less cheese and some sour cream.

Vidalia onion bake is a simple dish my family makes when we think it will fit in with what we are eating. It's delicious and easy to make and does not require a lot of attention so we do just fine with it. It's a keeper and going in my recipe box.
