Baked Brie with Cranberry Caramelized Onions

If time is short, you can make the topping well ahead and even spread onto the Brie up to a day ahead. The marriage of rich melting cheese with sweet yet tangy soft onions is unforgettable. Serve with lavash or toasted baguette slices.

Sage Apple Pork Burgers with Caramelized Onions

Roast Turkey and Caramelized Onion Fusilli

A box of fusilli, a handful of herbs and a few pantry ingredients turn last night's roast turkey into tonight's fresh and easy main. Sweet caramelized onions and a touch of broth coat this quick pasta, which features a zesty dressing that's tossed in at the last minute.

Our readers just love their slow-cookers. Tender pork simmered in a rich onion gravy is a perfect match for mashed potatoes any night. You can substitute a boneless pork loin roast if you like; just reduce the cooking time to five hours.

Braised Chicken Pie with Caramelized Onions, Mushrooms and Chestnuts

Instead of a traditional tourtiere, this year I'm serving a puff pastry-topped pie that's especially festive with tiny onions and chestnuts. For variety you can replace the chicken with pork or veal.

Pork Tenderloin Stuffed with Caramalized Onions and Cranberries Topped with Crusted Goat Cheese

My family and I own a 16 acre farm of organic cranberries. When I saw the challenge was to use local products, I couldn't resist working with this wonderful, beautiful and tasty fruit. I serve these with roasted buttercup squashe. The sweetness of the squash blends well with the sweetness of onions and cranberries.
