Cheesy Baked Onion and Garlic Casserole

Ingredients

• 3 large onions, thinly sliced
• 4 cloves garlic, peeled and minced
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
• 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 cups grated cheddar cheese
• 1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 cups crushed crackers, for topping

Method

1. 1Preheat the oven to 375°F, then butter a 9x13-inch baking dish and set it aside.
2. 2In a large skillet, cook the sliced onions over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally, until they are deeply golden and fragrant, about 30 minutes.
3. 3Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring constantly, until fragrant.
4. 4In a medium saucepan, whisk together the flour and heavy cream, then bring the mixture to a simmer over medium heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens, about 5 minutes.
5. 5Remove the sauce from the heat and stir in the cheddar and mozzarella cheese until melted and smooth, then season with salt and pepper to taste.
6. 6Combine the cooked onions and garlic, cheese sauce, and crushed crackers in the prepared baking dish, then cover the dish with aluminum foil and bake for 25 minutes.
7. 7Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10-15 minutes, until the top is golden brown and the casserole is hot and bubbly.
8. 8Let the casserole rest for 10-15 minutes before serving, until the cheese has set and the onions have cooled slightly.
