Tennessee Onions are quite the unexpected dish. At first thought, a bowl full of onions doesn’t sound that appetizing… but if you just think about it, onions play a big, delicious role in a lot of dishes. So, why wouldn’t these sweet onions swimming in melty cheesy and savory seasonings be any different? Believe it or not, they’re amazing on their own, but we absolutely love to top them on just about anything. Hot dogs, steaks, burgers, salads… yeah, we’ll take it all. Give these Tennesse Onions the love they deserve! You can thank us later.
