Caramelized onions have a magical quality to them but sautéing them is a bit labor-intensive. Use your slow cooker to easily make a gigantic batch and use them throughout the week. Watch them take your meals from ho-hum to amazing! To save yourself from crying, put onions in the refrigerator for about 1 hour before slicing – this minimizes the gaseous enzymes that causes tearing.
