     We had this for Christmas and it was delicious! I felt three onions would have been too much, I only used two and it was still mostly onion. I love roasted red onion, but, per my tastes, I felt maybe 1 1/2 red onions would have made a better ratio. Either way, it was amazing!! - 12/26/10

     Pretty good way to do green beans. We were getting behind, so I steamed the green beans for 3 minutes in the microwave, then sauteed them in the sauce for another minute and it was really good. - 11/27/09

     Really tasty! I didn't need 14 servings, so I cut the recipe down significantly, and it turned out delicious. My kids loved it, and they're not big onion fans! - 4/30/10

    Glad you could make this work. I used this originally for Thanksgiving. We only have 14 when the extended family get together.

     YUM! I was looking for a recipe to try to sneak green beans into my menu and this was so good! (but I am an onion junkie) I used a little more balsamic vinegar than the recipe called for ...it was delicious! - 4/6/10

     My husband and I loved this recipe. I didn't have red onions so used yellow and it was great. It's going to be one I use frequently. - 1/25/14
