Harvest & Creamed Onions!
So the harvest of the 275 acres of onions has started! God has given us a beautiful week and we take full advantage of all nice weather!
When the harvest starts Greg brings home onions! But Wait! I can’t use them. These are to see how the onions are. Are they going soft? Are they drying fast enough? Are the tops drying down? When you cut them is their any disease in them? It’s all for testing the quality.
Yesterday I was working on quality control and got permission to use the onions! WOW! They are awesome! Hard as rocks and big! So I made Creamed Onions. You either like them or not. Not judging anyone!
My recipe varies all the time but yesterday I did Crock Pot Creamed Onions.
Cut enough onions to fill your crock pot.
Next wipe your tears away – these babies are strong! Just the way we like them!
Take one stick of Butter and 1/2 cup of flour. Melt butter, add flour until they are blended together. That’s roux!
Add 3-4 cups of Milk and whisk until thick. Add salt, pepper and whatever spices you like!
When thick pour into crock pot, stir and wait!
The bad part is that I was in a rush to get these to a Pot Luck Dinner
and forgot to take a Photo! BUT they were yummy!
