Don’t feel like standing over a pan of gently sautéing onions? Simply toss them in the slow cooker, let them go (8 hours or overnight), and come back to beautifully tender-sweet caramelized onions—perfect for folding into dips, stirring into sides and salads, layering onto sandwiches, and more.

What a disappointment. I love caramelized onions and this sounded so easy but after cooking on low for 11 hours the onions were barely colored and they steamed rather than caramelized. I finished them in a skillet the next day. This is a good idea but there’s just too much steam in the crockpot.
