Ingredients:

16 medium sweet onions
1/3 cup canola oil
3 tablespoons all purpose flour
1 1/2 cups milk
1 cup American cheese, shredded

Instructions:

Place the peeled in onions in a large saucepan.  Cover with water and place on medium high heat.  Bring the onions and water to a rolling boil.  Continue to boil 8 minutes or until the onions are tender.  Drain the onions well and set aside to cool slightly.  Place the oil in the pan used to boil the onions.  Stir the flour into the oil.  Blend in the milk thoroughly.  Place the heat on the lowest temperature. Cook stirring continuously until the mixture thickens about 5 minutes.  Once the mixture has thickened sprinkle in the cheese.  Continue to cook, stirring continuously until the cheese has totally melted.  Stir in the onions back into the mixture.  Continue cooking 5 minutes or until completely heated through.
