Ingredients
Scale
Onions:
- 3 to 4 large sweet onions (such as Vidalia), sliced into 1/4-inch thick rings

- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter (melted)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano

- Prepare baking dish: Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.
- Layer onions: Spread the sliced onions evenly in the baking dish, separating the rings as you layer them.

- For extra flavor, add cooked bacon or swap in pepper jack cheese for a spicy twist.
