Grandma's Best Christmas Recipes for Families

Cherished family recipes for every holiday occasion are presented in this collection from the publisher. One such dish is the Sweet Onion Casserole, shared by Cheri Maxwell of Gulf Breeze, FL. "My grandma always made this dish for our holiday dinners," she recalls.

To prepare the casserole, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté for 3 to 5 minutes, until they are crisp-tender. Transfer the onions to a lightly greased 12"x8" baking pan. In a bowl, whisk together the cream of chicken soup, milk, and soy sauce, then spoon the mixture over the onions. Sprinkle the onions evenly with shredded Swiss cheese. Spread the remaining butter over slices of French bread and arrange them over the cheese. Bake the casserole, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, until it is bubbly and the bread is golden. The recipe serves 8.

The ingredient list includes 4 tablespoons of butter, divided; 2 to 3 sweet onions, sliced; a 10-3/4 oz. can of cream of chicken soup; 1/2 cup of milk; 1 teaspoon of soy sauce; and an 8-oz. package of shredded Swiss cheese. Half a loaf of French bread, sliced, completes the dish.

This casserole is just one of the many treasured family recipes found in this collection, which offers something for everyone. Readers are also encouraged to update Grandma's dessert spread with a Christmas dessert charcuterie board. On a large tray, arrange small portions of fruitcake, mini cookies, and candies.
