1
Prepare the Onions
Peel the large onions and slice them into thick rings.
2
Sauté the Onions
In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the onion rings and sauté for about 10 minutes until they are soft and translucent.
3
Add Flavorings
Sprinkle the brown sugar, apple cider vinegar, salt, black pepper, and thyme over the sautéed onions. Stir well to combine.
4
Simmer the Mixture
Pour in the water and bring the mixture to a simmer. Cover the skillet and let it cook for about 20 minutes, stirring occasionally until the onions are caramelized and the liquid has reduced.
5
Serve
Remove from heat and serve the Tennessee onions warm as a delicious side dish or topping for burgers and steaks.
