"This is from an old booklet put out by the Walla Walla Gardeners Association. Walla Walla is in SW Washington state. On recommendations from other chefs, I changed the amount of onions used from 6 to 4."

What a wonderful recipe for cornbread! This is so special and yummy, mmm! The texture is very fluffy and grainy, just like a good cornbread should be. Its crusty on the outside and has a lovely sweet oniony taste. YUM!<br/>I used home made applesauce in place of the shortening, left out the sugar and reduced the salt to 1/4 ts. It came out fantastic and Ill definitely make this again. I especially loved the upside down idea! :)<br/>Made and reviewed for Went to the Market Tag Game September 2011.

I love cornbread and this makes it extra yummy with the onions. I used vidalia onions - but only two. I also used canola oil instead of shortening & egg substitute (I always do) - it was delicious!

I prepared this as a side to soup on a chilly night. It was a very hearty cornbread and would be good as a side with many meals. The sweetness of the onions really comes out with the sauteing. I did add a bit more sugar to the cornbread mixture, as we like a sweeter cornbread.

This was just ok for me. Even my husband who LOVESSSSSSS cornbread wasn't too thrilled. Maybe next time I'd incorporate the onions "in" the batter. Thanks!

I tried making this, and followed the directions exactly...except I mixed up the cooking time. I was thinking it was 15 minutes...added another 5 because they didn't look done. I checked them with a cake tester in the middle and it came out clean, so I thougth I was all set. I flipped it over to serve like directed, and discovered at that point that it was undercooked...all still batter. It was my mistake, so I'm not assigning stars. I think this looked great...just make sure you cook it long enough. Oh...I did use 4 sweet onions instead of 6 walla walla onions.
