I made this as a side for a potluck Thanksgiving tonight. It was well received and very pretty. Goes well with fresh rolls to sop up the sauce.

My Mother loves Pearl Onions always has. I saved this to see if she'd like this. Sounds good! Its a HIGH 5. I think she'd like this Thanksgiving.


Wow this sounds wonderful, I do like to bake onions in a cream sauce and this sounds similar to that, but better somehow. Thanks for sharing I'm going to print this out, and good call on the nutmeg, yum!!
