Got this one from a Betty Crocker cookbook. Changed it up just slightly for my family's taste. Very hearty and good when it is bitter cold outside. Ingredients:
7 small onions, cut in half and thinly sliced (about 7 cups) |
1 tablespoon butter or 1 tablespoon margarine, melted |
2 tablespoons sugar |
2 bay leaves |
1 1/2 lbs beef stew meat |
3 cans condensed beef consomme |
1/4 cup dry sherry or 1/4 cup apple juice |
1 cup apple juice |
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme |
8 slices french bread, toasted (1/2 inch thick) |
2 cups shredded swiss cheese |
Directions:
1. Add onions and butter to a 5 to 6 quart crock-pot; toss to coat.
2. Top with bay leaves and beef.
3. Cover and cook on LOW for 9-10 hours or until the onions are deep brown in color.
4. Mix together the beef consomme, sherry, apple juice, and thyme in a bowl.
5. Pour into crock-pot; increase setting to HIGH.
6. Cover and cook 10 minutes or until hot.
7. Take out bay leaves.
8. Spoon soup into oven-proof soup bowls.
9. Top each with a slice of toast and 1/4 cup shredded cheese.
10. If you want, broil 6 inches from heat source for 3-5 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and begins to brown.
