Make this recipe a recipe that people in that category can eat. categories: ['low_calorie'], recipe: peel the onions. parboil in about 3/4 cup water. (i do this part in a covered casserole in the microwave). make white sauce with rest of ingredients. if you like a stronger onion flavor, thin the white sauce with part or all of the onion water. otherwise, thin it with your choice of cream, milk, water, chicken broth or whatever flavor you like. add onions and bake at 325 to 350 until bubbly.

Target recipe: cook frozen onions according to package directions. melt butter in a sauce pan over very low heat. whisk in about 1/2 t flour, whisking well (and constantly) until smooth. when it bubbles allow it to simmer for about a minute, constantly whisking. repeat step 3 until all flour is used. this will be very thick. add milk about 1/8 cup at a time, whisking constantly until smooth and allowing it to simmer (still whisking) about a minute after mixture becomes smooth. drain onions and let them steam off most of the excess water. add to sauce. chop parsley fine and add to mixture. allow to simmer about a minute, stirring constantly with a mixing spoon. transfer to serving dish and garnish with paprika.
