Today I sent my son to shop for me at Sams club. I forgot how extremely specific one must be when making shopping lists
I did state one onion. Ok, I forgot, Sams only sells produce in bulk. So, comes home with a fie pound bag of onions They're really nice, large, perfectly round, white onions. But what do I do with them?
Any recipes? How to store so many onions and not have them sprout?
Location: When things get hot they expand. Im not fat. Im hot.

You could chop the onions and freeze them. I have done this but I don't like to chop onions so I usually just buy the big bags of chopped fresh onions at GFS. I rebag them for my freezer in one cup portions. Very convenient when youre cooking to just grab a bag.

Not a problem in my household. I eat onions like apples - raw.
Anyway - what you could do is carmelize/sautee (chopped, sliced, julienned) with sliced mushrooms and or with rainbow bell pepper, portion them in small zip bags and freeze. I have lots of those. Some with added garlic too. Use to my sauteed meat (roast, stews, burgers...), egg dishes (scrambled, omelets, quiche, etc), pizza, some deli sandwiches like roast beef, and all the dishes you would usually add sauteed onions. Plain chopped, carmelized onions are great with fried rice or noodles. You can also add them to some vegetables.
Caramelized onions make almost everything taste better

Cook up onions to mix with ground beef for Tacos, Empanadas, etc.
Five pounds of onions doesn't last very long in my house. We like onions and use them in a lot of things- soups, stews, mashed potatoes, rice dishes ('dirty' rice, jambalaya, pilaf, risotto), scrambled eggs, grits, burgers, hot dogs/sausages (w/peppers), mac & cheese, spaghetti sauce, boiled dinners, tuna/chicken salad, green salads, cooked in with peas...
If you don't use them that often, you could chop them up and portion them out in freezer bags and freeze them.
5 lbs of onions goes pretty quick in my house as well. Most homemade recipes use a half or a whole onion, and that's just for dinner. I throw them in almost everything, such as salads, omelettes, soups, sandwiches, lasagna, pizza, etc. We use 3 lbs normally per week, but have been using more since the shut down.
