Chef's tips

Slice your onions to the same thickness so they cook evenly. Let the casserole rest for 10 minutes after baking so it holds its shape.

Storage

Refrigerate covered up to 4 days.

Reheating

Reheat in a 325°F oven until warmed through, about 15 minutes.

Common mistakes to avoid

•Not cooking the onions long enough before baking, which makes the casserole watery.
•Skipping the 10-minute rest after baking, causing the casserole to fall apart on the plate.
