I created a special casserole recipe. It's a style of patty melt with an onion flavor; it's filled with onion rings and seasoned with Kinder's smoked onion and caramelized onion butter seasonings.

Coat a 2-quart casserole dish with cooking spray. Add thawed onion rings, diced American cheese, crumbled blue cheese, and 2 tablespoons smoked onion seasoning; mix well with a fork.

Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add ground beef, cook for 5 minutes or until crumbled and no longer pink. Drain any excess fat.

Heat the margarine and remaining caramelized onion butter seasoning in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
