French Onion Soup Casserole

If you are like me and Love French Onion soup, but find it difficult to make individually,,,,then this recipe is for you!,,,I have made 2 of these before for my Christmas dinner of 20! Here is what I do

 

 

INGREDIENTS

 

3 T Butter

3 large sweet yellow onions (halved, then sliced)

 

In a dutch oven or lg pot start by sauteing onions in butter

until translucent and soft about 20-25 minutes

 

next add

 

1 32 oz box beef broth

1 T worcestshire sauce

1 bay leaf

1/2 t dry thyme

1 can condensed onion soup (undiluted)

salt and pepper

 

whisk this into onion mixture and bring to boil then simmer for 25 minutes until thickened

 

12 slices  French baguette bread

 

1/2 C shredded mozzarella

1/2 C shredded swiss. (mix 2 cheeses together)

 

meanwhile broil bread slices on a cookie sheet until lightly toasted (set aside}

 

Once soup is ready,,be sure to remove bay leaf ...pour into a large casserole dish ,,,place toasted bread slices on top

 

top with cheese mixture and bake at 350 until cheese is melted

 

When finished ladle into bowls with a piece of the bread and enjoy! 

 

If you are using a dutch oven,,,you could keep it in there to bake!
