Caramelized-Onion Pork

SUBMITTED BY: Nell Cruse

"'We live in a farming community, and one of our main crops is onion,' writes Nell Cruse of Ontario, Oregon. 'When I competed in a cooking contest at the Idaho-Eastern Oregon Onion Festival, I was flabbergasted when I won the top three prizes. This was the first-place recipe.'"

DIRECTIONS

In a large skillet, cook onion and sugar in oil over medium-low heat until onion is tender and golden brown, about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Place the pork in a 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish coated with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Top with onion mixture.
Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees F for 40-45 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 160 degrees F. Let stand for 5 minutes before slicing.

For a simple, easy recipe this is great!! The only thing I did differently was that I used pork chops instead of a tenderloin. Next time I might double the onions just because I love onions.
