Add a pinch each of nutmeg, cayenne, salt and black pepper, then add 3 tablespoons white wine and simmer 2 minutes. Whisk 1 1/4 cups half-and-half and 3 tablespoons flour; stir into the onions and bring to a boil. Mix 2 tablespoons melted butter, 1 cup panko (Japanese breadcrumbs), 2 tablespoons chopped chives, and salt and pepper. Sprinkle over the onion, cover with parchment paper and bake 30 minutes. Uncover and broil until golden, 5 more minutes.

CREAMED PEARL ONIONS

Steps:

• Blanch the pearl onions by placing them into a large pot of rapidly boiling water. Cook them for about 1 minute. Remove the onions from the water with a strainer, then plunge into an ice bath to stop the cooking process. Drain them, then remove the skins.
• Put the onions in a 3-quart saucepan and place over low-medium heat. Add the cream, bay leaves, parsley, garlic and nutmeg. Season with salt and pepper. Cover and let simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Then, remove the cover and add stock. Season again. Allow to cook down for 5 minutes to tighten up the cream sauce. Discard the garlic clove and bay leaves before serving.

CREAMED ONIONS

• Add unpeeled onions and blanch for about 3 minutes.
• Drain and allow onions to cool.
• Re-fill stock pot with water and again heat to boiling temperature.
• Peel each onion by cutting the root end, not the tail end) and then squeezing the onion from its skin.
• Add the onions to the boiling water and cook until fork tender but not mushy.

NANA'S HAMBURGER POTATO HOT DISH

Steps:

• Brown hamburger, chopped onion and pepper together in a skillet.
• Wash and slice the potatoes with the skins left on.
• Stir together all the soups & corn in a large casserole pan.
• Add browned hamburger and potatoes to the soup mixture and stir well.
• Bake at 375 degree oven for approximately 2 to 2 1/2 hours.
• Stir a couple times during baking.
• I usually have it covered the 1st hour, then leave it uncovered the remaining time.
• This is one of those recipes that I never had a recipe to follow, I just knew the ingredients from my mom making it when I was a child. The hamburger amount could vary from 1 to 2 lbs & the potatoes could be anywhere from 4-8 depending how much you want to make. Also could add an extra can of cream corn if making a larger amount of hamburger & potatoes.
• I have also made it in my crock pot; starting out the 1st hour in the oven, then finishing it off in the crockpot on low for 3-4 hours because I brought it to work for a potluck.
