In the kitchen with Kelley: Slow Cooker Caramelized Onions

Caramelized onions are simply delicious, but who has time to fix them — especially on a busy weeknight? Here’s a solution: Cook them in your slow cooker. It’s so simple. And caramelized onions are freezable, too. So you can fix a big batch, spoon some onto burgers or sandwiches or whatever for dinner and freeze the rest in portion-sized freezable bags or containers.
