Hi. This recipe sounds delicious and I am making this for dinner this week but have a couple of questions. The ingredients say “1/4 onion, sliced”. I just want to clarify it is just a 1/4 of an onion and not one whole onion quartered. There is also 1 teaspoon of onion powder but I don’t see in the directions where it is to be added. Is that just mixed in with all the wet ingredients?
Hello, Thanks for catching that. I fixed the recipe card for the onion powder. And yes, it a 1/4 of an onion, sliced. I have used a half an onion too and it was good as well.
Can this be cooked on high for 4 hours?
Yes!
This page had waaaaaay too many ads and most of the real content had nothing to do with the recipe.
I’m looking forward to trying the recipe though.

This recipe looks amazing. Thanks for sharing. We have a wonderful new No Frills in our small town. Love it. Their produce is always good and great prices. I wish they had a deli counter or even a bakery counter, but I guess that’s why it’s a No Frills.
