This is great when you are wanting something light for lunch or dinner. I came up with this when I went through a stage where I didn't eat any meat. This would be amazing with some chicken though. You can find simple bechamel recipes online on YouTube or just about anywhere. Don't be discouraged! You can do it! And if you want to add some white wine while cooking your onions it would be an amazing add.
