This sounds delicious and so easy. Question … do you think one could use olive oil instead of butter? Perhaps vegan butter? Thanks for sharing!
I have not tried olive oil yet….but I have seen others use it and be successful! Try substituting in 1/3 -1/2 cup of oil for the butter 🙂 Hope that helps!
Thanks Corey, I’ll give it a try! 🙂
I love onions and this looks really really super delicious! I have pinned it and i am trying it. Will go to the store and get the onions.
My mouth is watering as I type.
Thanks so much for sharing – both of you!
What size crock pot works best? I’ve got a particularly large one.
I used a 6 quart crockpot for these 🙂 Hope that helps!
Do you know how you could turn this into French Onion Soup once the onions are done?
I have not done that yet. But am planing on trying soon! YUM
I would not have thought to put onions in a crockpot to caramelize them! What a great idea and so easy!
