The jury is in...

... and the verdict is DELICIOUS!! I just had me a cheese, bacon and caramelized onion quesadilla for lunch and yeah, buddy! If you like the savory sweetness of plain, ol' dusty sauteed onions, you'll love this caramelized version. With nothing other than the butter they cooked in and a scant teaspoon of salt, the flavor is not that much different than the stovetop version. Perhaps not quite as rich, but a convincing alternate and well worth the lingering aroma.

I declare this crock pot caramelized onion experiment a success and a definite keeper in my recipe file. I'll do this again.

Now off to package for freezing.
