Caramelized Vidalia Onions

2-3 whole Vidalia onions
1 liter Coca-Cola classic
2 teaspoons liquid steak seasoning (or more to taste)
In a 9x13 microwave-safe casserole dish, cut whole Vidalia onions into sections 1 1/2
inches in length and around 3/4 inches wide. Literally float the cut onions in the
Coca-Cola, adding more if necessary to cover all the onions in your dish. Add the
steak seasoning into the liquid. (Liquid steak seasoning is quite potent and 1 bottle
capful is usually enough.) Stir once to spread the seasoning.
Place in microwave and cook for 20 minutes on high or 30 minutes on medium
setting.
This will produce a soft, sweet caramelized onion with a hint of smoky flavor. It’s easy
and effortless.
