A friend's mother made this for us last year. We have tweaked it and added other spices, as well as the water chestnuts and almonds. We have served to rave reviews many times since then. We use Vidalia onions when they are in season.

i was given the task of bringing the onions to thanksgiving this year. i just made this because i wanted to try something different (and to test the recipe before i head over next week. This recipe is awesome!!!! I added extra salt and pepper while browning the onions, but other than that i followed it exactly. this is so good- even my 1 year old likes it.
