Tennessee Onions are a delicious Southern dish that elevates the humble onion to a savory, cheesy delight. Unlike onion rings, which are fried and often heavily battered, Tennessee Onions are baked to perfection with a blend of cheeses and spices. Here’s a recipe that showcases how this dish can be even better than onion rings:
Ingredients:
- 3 large sweet onions (such as Vidalia), sliced into 1/4-inch rings
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
