Caramelized Onions

When I was a kid, for a quick meal, we'd brown hot dogs in a cast iron skilet. Then we'd take them out and carmelize onions in it. We'd put the hot dogs in a bun and top with the carmelized onions. YUM. I still like this, and I don't even like hot dogs, but the onions make them taste so special.

The slower you cook the onions the sweeter they will be. Don't get in a hurry and turn up the heat to try and cook them faster.

The carmelized onions I have made were very easy. Rub a little lite olive oil in a cast iron skillet and very slowly cook the sliced onions (Vidalias are best, but any sweet onion will do). Their natural sugar carmelizes during slow cooking and they turn out sweet and delicious. They cook down considerably so be sure to cook a lot. Just stir occasionally and don't get impatient. A healthy veg due to no added sugar.
