- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste

- Cheesy Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the shredded cheddar cheese, mayonnaise, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. This creates a flavorful cheesy topping.

- Bake Covered: Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for about 25 minutes.
- Uncover and Bake: Remove the foil and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes or until the onions are tender, and the top is golden and bubbling.
- Garnish: If desired, garnish with chopped fresh parsley for added color and flavor.
- Serve: Serve hot as a savory side dish that complements various main courses.
