How To Make ellen's loaded roasted onions

• 
  Step 1
  Trim off the top and bottom of the onions; peel. Hollow out the onion with a small knife (save the core for another recipe). Place the onions in a 13x9-inch baking dish that has been sprayed lightly with cooking spray.
• 
  Step 2
  Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium-high heat; add flour and stir until mixed. Add heavy cream little by little, stirring constantly with a wire whisk. Add salt, pepper, and minced garlic. Keep whisking until mixture thickens. Add cheese and combine thoroughly until mostly melted.
• 
  Step 3
  Spoon sauce into the cored onions. If you have too much sauce, spoon over and between onions.
• 
  Step 4
  Cover with foil and bake in a preheated 400-degree oven for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle croutons or panko bread crumbs over tops of onions.
• 
  Step 5
  Continue baking, uncovered, for 10 more minutes until crumbs are lightly browned and cheese is bubbly.
• 
  Step 6
  NOTE: If you're a bacon lover, you could add some crumbled cooked bacon on top of the cheese before it goes into the oven.
