Hello shelbyrose, 1 lb of frozen pearl onions is what we used, kicked-it-up a notch by adding salt, black grnd pepper, & a sprinkling of crushed red pepper. Used a spicy cheddar, mild cheddar combination. It is a great dish as is, but for "our tastes" I just added the above. I love onions and mushrooms, and this just gives us a new way to prepare them! Thank you muchly(sp?) for posting, Diane :)

I enjoyed this recipe very much. I'm not sure if there's a typo, but 24 pearl onions is hardly any for all that sauce, so I just used 1 pound and it was still very saucy and thick. I used frozen thawed pearl onions for easy preparation. I did put salt and white pepper in the sauce, but it still could use a bit more something to liven it up. Perhaps some cheese in the sauce as well as on top? More spices? Instead of making 2 casseroles, i made 1 large one. Thanx for posting this. I will play around with it and definitely make it again!

Hi, there! Thanks a bunch for stopping by. Before I tell you a little about myself, I'd like to start out with a GREAT BIG Thank You to all those who have taken the time to prepare, review and/or photograph my recipes. I wish I could thank each and every one of you personally, but without PM I'm unable to do so. Please know that your reviews and comments are very much appreciated!
DH and I are semi-retired and loving it! The kids are grown and on their own, so we've got enough spare time to do the things we really love doing. We enjoy spending time with our four grandkids (pictured above), and also like camping, fishing and boating. As a hobby, we're into woodcrafting and participate in local craft shows and community fairs. We're also both active and involved in our church.
