The caramelized onions and creamy sauce make these yummy bites a huge hit at parties. People say theyâre even better than the mini burger appetizers that are so popular at restaurants.Maribeth Condo, Lindenhurst, Illinois Ingredients:
16 frozen waffle-cut fries |
2 medium onions, cut into 1/8-inch slices |
1 tablespoon butter |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1 teaspoon sugar |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1 pound ground turkey or beef |

4-1/2 teaspoons lemon juice |
1-1/2 teaspoons water |
