Recipies

4 medium onions, peeled
14-oz. can artichokes in water
½ stick butter, divided
2 tablespoons flour
1 ½ cups milk
2 teaspoons hot sauce
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon pepper
1 ½ cups shredded Cheddar cheese
½ cup crushed butter-type crackers

DIRECTIONS: Preheat oven to 350 degrees and grease an 8-inch non-metal pan. Cut onions into 8 wedges and place in pan. Rinse and drain artichokes and spread on top of onions. In a small pot, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Whisk in flour and cook one minute. Whisk in milk, hot sauce, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until mixture boils and thickens – about three minutes. Pour over onions and artichokes, spreading to cover. Sprinkle with crushed crackers. Melt remaining butter and drizzle over all. Bake until onions are tender, sauce is bubbling and crumbs are golden – about an hour. Serves 6-8.
