This indulgent bake is a celebration of onions in a rich, creamy cheese sauce. Sliced onions are baked until tender beneath a luxurious blend of Velveeta and Parmesan cheeses. The sauce is made from a simple roux and half-and-half, seasoned with a hint of spice. It results in a wonderfully comforting and flavourful side dish that serves four.
