Need to save some time in the kitchen? Then stock up on these babies! No more chopping, no more peeling, and no more mascara running while you cut onions! These are so easy to use and so cheap! Don’t bother with the freeze-dried variety. They aren’t as flavorful, cost more, and you don’t get as much in a can. I use them all of the time in any recipe calling for chopped onion. The trick is to use 1/4 to 1/3 of the amount that you actual recipe calls for. So if your recipe calls for 1 cup chopped onion, I would use 1/4-1/3 cup dehydrated onions. You don’t HAVE to hydrate them before adding them into what you’re cooking, especially if it is saucey (like spaghetti sauce) but you will want to make sure it has enough liquid to hydrate. But did you also know that you can actually hydrate and saute them? I can’t prove it, but I’m convinced this is what In-n-Out does on their cheeseburgers. It tastes JUST like the onions you put on an Animal Style cheeseburger. (p.s. did you know that I have a killer Thousand Island dressing recipe…just in case you want to recreate the whole thing)

What a great hack! My family loves In-and-Out animal style burgers and I love learning new ways to use my DH onions. (they are even fun to munch on, a little at a time of course). I think we will have these for dinner. Thanks for taking the time to share your helpful hints with us and get us thinking of new ways to use our food storage. As my grandson would say, awesome!
