Slow Cooker Sweet & Sour Onions

I don't know about you foodie friends, but I get in a rut and serve the same side dishes over and over.  It's always salad and potatoes.  Salad and rice.  Salad and salad.  Sometimes green beans, just to mix it up.  Obviously we needed a change in the line-up so I thought I'd give Sweet & Sour Onions a whirl.  They live up to their name.  A little sweet, a little sour and a little perfect for a new side dish.  Especially because they cook in the slow cooker.  Just fix them and forget them.

A perfect slow cooker side dish.
