Melt 1 stick of butter in a skillet over medium-high heat.

Slice 5-6 vidalia onions into half rings.

Add the sliced onions to the melted butter in the skillet and cook until they are translucent, about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Remove the skillet from heat and let the onions sit to sweat out any remaining liquid.

In a baking dish, layer half of the cooked onions, then sprinkle 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese on top.

Add another layer of onions, followed by another 1/3 cup of Parmesan cheese.

Top with 1 cup of crushed Ritz crackers.

Bake in the oven until golden brown, about 30-35 minutes.
