Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Melt the Butter: Begin by melting 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Allow the butter to fully melt and become foamy, about 2 minutes.
  2. Add Onions and Mushrooms: Once the butter is melted, add in 2 pounds of sliced white onions and 8 ounces of sliced mushrooms. Sprinkle half a teaspoon of seasoning over them and gently stir to combine.
  3. Cooking the Vegetables: Reduce the heat to medium-low, allowing the onions and mushrooms to cook slowly for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  4. Monitor and Adjust: After about 20 minutes of cooking, deglaze with a splash of water or white wine if the mixture begins to stick.
  5. Final Touches: Once the onions are fully caramelized, taste and adjust seasoning if desired before serving.
