Start with 2 cups of real fine diced vidalia onions.

Cut off both ends of the onion, cut it in half, and remove the outer skin.

Dice the onions by cutting straight away from your hand, rolling the onion, and cutting again.

In a mixing bowl, combine 1.5 cups of shredded sharp cheddar cheese and 0.5 cups of chopped American cheese with the diced onions.

Stir the onions and cheese together until well mixed.

Add 0.75 cups of mayonnaise to the mixture and stir until combined.

Add 2 tablespoons of chopped scallions to the mixture and mix well, saving the remaining 2 tablespoons for garnish later.

Transfer the mixture to a 1.5 quart baking dish, flattening it out.

Preheat the oven to 375°F and bake for about 25 minutes until golden brown and bubbly.

Check at about 20 minutes; it may not look done until it starts to brown around the edges.

Once done, remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes before serving.

Garnish with the reserved scallions before serving.
