    having had something extremely similar to this several times I was excited to try out this recipe. I did alter it slightly by making a roux to thicken the sauce and followed other reviewer's suggestion of simmering the cream with a crushed garlic clove and some bay leaves. The only thing that seemed off when - Read more ...

    This was delicious. My husband had eaten all of the "buttery round crackers" secretly so I substituted saltines and left the salt out of the recipe. After baking I sprinkled some crumbled garlic croutons over the top. I'll serve this wonderful rich side dish again!

    I made this today for Christmas dinner with a standing rib roast and Yorkshire pudding. It was the perfect accompaniment. This was so good.

    I made this for Thanksgiving and it was incredible! It is extremely rich so I will not be making it on a regular basis but is great for holidays when you don't mind the extra calories! I usually make creamed onions with cream of mushroom soup so this was a nice treat.

    I've been sitting here trying to think how to rate this... It's better than I could ever describe. Five stars doesn't do it justice. I made this for my wife when she came home from work and she raved about it... raved more than she has about anything I've fixed so far. Since there was - Read more ...

    Such a yummy recipe my entire family loved it and went back for more! I used frozen small whole onions (like pearl) to save time and it turned out great. Can't wait to make it again at Christmas.

    OMG we just loved this! Being an onion lover I am always looking for new ways to cook onions. This really didn't come out the way I expected but it certainly made a beautiful presentation and was a treat for the holidays! We totally enjoyed this one! Thanks:)

    this is one delicious recipe. i couldn't find frozen pearl onions. it would have been nice because peeling those little suckers wasn't easy. after having read the other reviews i steamed my onions first...till tender and then followed the recipe from there. i will make this again. thanks.

    The recipe did not specify fresh or frozen onions. I used fresh and had too cook it much longer which in the end caused the cream to separate. This had a good taste to it I did add a couple of garlic cloves. Next time I will par boil the onions first.
