I am looking, have been looking, for a recipe for creamed onions that uses cheese. I can find tons of recipes without the cheese, but I want THAT one! My grandmother used to make them all the time and the recipe died with her. Anyone?
Just a few I came across...hope one fits what you are looking for. http://www.recipezaar.com/191333 http://www.recipezaar.com/83501 http://www.recipezaar.com/4649 http://www.recipezaar.com/4650 http://allrecipes.com/Recipe/Creamed-Onion-Bake/Detail.aspx

My grandmother had an old copy of the "Joy of Cooking" cookbook first published in 1932 and many printings since. This was one of her favorite recipes. Maybe it's similiar to your grandmother's recipe. Creamed Onions in Cheese sauce 1 lb boiling onions (boil for two minutes and then peel) Or 1 lb of chopped onion Steam the onions about 10 minutes until tender - this keeps the flavor in the onion Cheese sauce is made while the onions steam. I make the whole recipe because we like it on broccolli and cauliflour too. When the sauce is completed place the onions in a bowl and pour in enough of the cheese sauce to coat the onions. Makes 4 servings. Cheese sauce 2 Tbs butter melt butter in a sauce pan. 2 Tbs flour add and stir until the butter is absorbed. 1 1/2 cup milk add slowly until it begins to steam. 1 cup or less of a mild grated or diced processed cheese. (Mild Cheddar, mozarella, swiss) stir until cheese is melted and a smooth sauce is achieved. Seasoning choices to add to the cheese sauce First choice: 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp paprika 1/4 c chopped parsley dash of cloves second choice 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp dry mustard dash of cayenne 2 TBS sherry Third choice add 1/2 cup sauteed mushrooms (1 cup of fresh sliced mushrooms sauteed in butter or bacon drippings) 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp paprika Here is a bonus recipe that my family loves. Scalloped Onions 6 large onions peeled and sliced 4 TBS butter or bacon drippings Sautee until onions are tender Salt and pepper to taste Settle into a baking dish and top with 1 cups soft bread crumbs 1 cup grated cheese Sprinkle of paprika Bake at 375 degrees until the crumbs are brown.
Just caught the amount of salt in the third choice of seasonings and corrected it. It was supposed to read 1/2 tsp salt not 1/2 c salt. You would not have found that awesome!
