Ingredients:
- 4 large onions, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup brown sugar
- 1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
- 1/4 cup water
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Optional: a dash of hot sauce for some heat
Instructions:
- In a large skillet, melt the butter and vegetable oil over medium heat.
- Add the thinly sliced onions and sauté them until they become translucent and start to caramelize, which usually takes about 15-20 minutes. Keep stirring occasionally to prevent burning.
- Once the onions are nicely caramelized, add the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, and water to the skillet. Stir everything together.
- Reduce the heat to low and let the onions simmer for another 10-15 minutes. This will allow the flavors to meld together, and the liquid will reduce and thicken.
- Season with salt and pepper to taste. If you like a bit of heat, you can add a dash of hot sauce at this point.
- Remove from heat, and your Tennessee Onions are ready to serve!
