Caramelized Onions in the Crockpot

They may seem simple but onions add quite a pop to whatever dish they're added too.  Eaten raw onions carry a bite, yet have a sweet savoriness when caramelized.  In addition, they're very low in calories so you don't have to worry about piling them on to other dishes.  I even like to eat these caramelized onions by themselves sometimes.  The best part about this recipe is that the preparation takes all of 5 minutes.

I put these on veggie burgers or other sandwiches, on top of grilled portabello mushrooms, alongside a plate of other veggies, or thrown in pasta sauces.
