Creamed Onions
Ingredients
- 2 jars pearl onions (or equivalent amount fresh cooked)
- 3 Tbsp Flour
- 3 Tbsp butter
- 1 cup. evaporated milk
- 1 cup. juice from the jars of onions
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- melted butter
Instructions
Boil the jarred onions for about 5 minutes to insure that they are cooked through.. Drain them and reserve the liquid. Put the drained onions in a casserole dish .1-1/2 qt size should be OK. Prepare Basic White Sauce. Melt butter in pan. Stir in flour. Cook a few minutes. Whisk in evaporated milk and onion liquid. Cook to thicken Pour the white sauce over the onions in casserole dish. Stir a bit. Mix together 1 cup bread crumbs with a little melted butter. Sprinkle that over the top. Bake at 350 (or whatever temperuture the rest of the dinner is being cooked at) for approx. 30 minutes to heat through, brown the crumb topping and blend the flavors. I suppose if you wanted them cheesy you could just stir in the cheese of choice into the white sauce.
