Slow Cooker French Onion Soup with Cheesy Bread

Category: Soups, Hot

Ingredients:

3 large onions, sliced (or about 3 cups) 3 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted 3 tablespoons all-purpose flour 1 teaspoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon pepper 1 tablespoon Worcestire sauce 4 14-oz cans beef broth 8 sliced French bread, about 1 inch thick 3 oz (or 3/4 cup) shredded mozzarella cheese 2 tablespoons grated or shredded fresh Parmesan cheese

Directions:

1. In a 3 to 6 quart slow cooker, combine onions and margarine. Cover; cook on high setting for about 30 to 35 minutes or until onions begins to slightly brown around edges. (I imagine you could do this step in a pan as well a little faster.) 2. In a small bowl, blend flour, sugar, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Stir flour mixture and broth into onions. 3. Cover; cook on low setting for 7 to 9 hours or on high setting for 3 to 4 hours. 4. About ten minutes before serving, place bread slices on broiler pan. Sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Broil about 5 to 6 inches from heat for about 3 minutes or until cheese is melted. Top individual servings of soup with 1 slice cheesy bread.
