Notes

This is a 'loose' recipe. Feel free to add more or less of any ingredient to your liking. These measurements don't need to be exact. 
To caramelize onions: Add a tablespoon of olive oil or butter to a skillet. Heat to medium low. Add sliced onions and let them cook, stirring occasionally. This can take 30-60 minutes to get a nice brown caramelized onion. If they are browning too quickly, or you feel the pan is burning, add 1 tablespoon of water, as needed, and continue to stir and cook.
