Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees
    Spray the 8 x 8 baking dish with vegetable spray and set it aside.

  • Add the onions to the skillet and sauté for 4 to 5 minutes until translucent.

You might want to play with seasoning a bit. You can also experiment with cheeses, but keep in mind you do want a good melting cheese.
