I'm not good with chopping and slicing onions either so I buy frozen onions for making soups and stews and keep whole red onions for things like tarte tatin - only halved so not too teary - or else wedges for roasting with other veggies.
I have never frozen my own onions but then I don't grow enough onions to have any left by now and last year's crop was poor cos of an early drought I think. I used the last of ours in a soup in November.

Farmers years ago used to store their onions all winter, they didn’t freeze them. Last lot I grew I plaited them and left them hanging up, they lasted ages.
Gardening on the wild, windy west side of Dartmoor.
Mine were well dried and plaited, but the odd one had started to rot. After chucking out a few I decided to try another way. I had hoped to keep them all winter, but having read a bit more about it, it seems to be considered that you are doing well if they last beyond Christmas.
Carmarthenshire (mild, wet, windy). Loam over shale, very slightly sloping, so free draining. Mildly acidic or neutral.

I just do them quickly and if necessary put them under water.
