A cure for a lack of patience (caramelized onions in the slow cooker)

I love caramelized onions.  I also have very little patience.  This combo is a problem.  I was determined to make a French Onion quiche for my Christmas Eve brunch with my high school friends, but I had stuff to do and no time to caramelize the onions.  Then I remembered I had seen you could do it in the crock pot!  It sounded like a good idea to me!

And it was.  This was so easy and the onions came out so delicious.  I kept the leftovers in the fridge so I could add them to everything and I have!  This makes the perfect onions, and man your house will smell good! Come back tomorrow for the yummy quiche I made with them!  Full recipe to follow the montage.
