Onion Surprise Casserole

One day, when thumbing through her mom’s recipe box, Sandy found this recipe from her Aunt Estelle. On the recipe card, Aunt Estelle had simply written the comment: “This is really good.” Knowing the caliber of cook that Estelle is, Sandy and her mom decided to try it, even though an onion casserole didn’t really sound like much. To their surprise, this is an absolutely amazing side dish. This recipe features the delicious 1015 onion. Created in Weslaco (just down the road from where Sandy grew up) by Leonard Pike, at the Texas A&M University Extension Service, Texas 1015 onions are known for their mild, juicy, and sweet characteristics, as well as the fact that they contain very little pyruvate (the chemical that causes strong flavor and leads to tears). So, no more crying in the kitchen—cooking is supposed to be fun!
