Ingredients

Onion Sauce

  • 4 large onions, sliced
  • 6 tablespoons butter
  • 2 teaspoons spice mixture (see below)

Spice Mixture

  • 1 tablespoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon salt
  • ¾ teaspoons cayenne pepper

Instructions

  • Warm a heavy pan over low heat and add butter.
  • As the butter melts, add sliced onions and cook, stirring frequently, for 30–40 minutes. Keep heat low to avoid burning the butter.
  • When onions are done, sprinkle spice mixture over onions and toss thoroughly.
  • Serve with meatloaf; garnish with chopped tomatoes if desired. Reserve extra spice mixture in a tightly covered jar.
