They’re savory, slightly sweet, deeply cheesy, and go with just about everything: grilled meats, burgers, roasts, or even as a vegetarian main.

🧀 Tennessee Onions Recipe

Ingredients:

• 3–4 large sweet onions (like Vidalia or Walla Walla)
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• ½ teaspoon salt

1. Preheat Oven:
   Set your oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

3. Season:
   Dot with butter and sprinkle garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper evenly over the onions.
