Instructions

Place the sliced onions at the bottom of a 5-quart or larger slow cooker.
Add the sliced butter, brown sugar, kosher salt, and black pepper over the onions.
Toss the mixture to ensure the onions and butter are well coated.
Cover the slow cooker and set it to low heat for 8-10 hours, stirring a couple of times throughout the cooking process, until the onions are soft and caramelized.
Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper to taste before serving either immediately or on the warm setting.

Notes

For deeper flavor, consider adding a splash of balsamic vinegar during cooking.
These caramelized onions can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
They also freeze well, making them a great make-ahead option.
