This outstanding baked onions dish can be cooked quickly for any size group.
Ingredients:
- Spanish Onions
- Watkins Sea Salt
- Watkins Paprika
- Watkins Black Pepper
- Watkins Cooking Spray
- Watkins Onion Soup & Gravy Base
- Butter
Cooking Instructions:
Take the number of onions you think it will take to feed your group, likely one per person. Skin each Spanish onion and cut crosswise into 3 slices. Spray Watkins cooking spray on a baking dish and lay each onion slice side by side. Season accordingly with Watkins sea salt, black pepper and paprika. Then dot each onion with butter.
On your stovetop make enough Watkins Onion Soup & Gravy Base to pour to a depth of 1/4 inch in the baking pan and have some left over for basting during the baking process. Bring the onion soup base to a boil and then pour slowly into the pan to the 1/4-inch depth.
Bake at 325 degree F while basting with more onion soup base for at least an hour until the soup stock is absorbed and the onions are tender and a nice brown color.

The next time you make beef kebabs on the grill, try adding a little spice to your life with a special spice rub made from Watkins seasonings. The recipe for what we call “Dad’s Spicey Rub” is provided below:
1 tbsp (or 30 ml) Watkins Black Pepper 6 oz
2 tsp (or 10 ml) Watkins Chili Seasoning
2 tsp (or 10 ml) Watkins Curry Powder
1 tbps (or 30 ml) Watkins Cumin
2 tsp or (or 10 ml) Watkins Sea Salt, freshly ground
1 tsp (or 5 ml) Watkins Paprika
1 tsp (or 5 ml) Watkins Allspice
1/2 tsp (or 2.5 ml) Watkins Cayenne Pepper
1 tsp (or 5 ml) Watkins Purest Ground Cinnamon 6 oz.
16 oz. (or 1.4 kg) sirloin, cut in 1-inch cubes
Bell peppers, onions, mushrooms or vegetables of choice cut into chunks
Directions:
In a small bowl stir together all of the spice rub ingredients. Next sprinkle sirloin with about 2 tbsp (or 30 ml) of your newly created spice rub.
Be sure and reserve the remaining spice rub in an air-tight container for future use. Thread the seasoned beef chunks onto skewers along with the chunks of vegetables you’ve prepared. Grill or broil the kebabs while turning them occasionally. Continue to grill or broil until the meat is cooked to your desired doneness (about 5 to 7 minutes).
Plating:
Serve atop a bed of cooked couscous or rice.
