Description
A comforting and hearty casserole that combines the classic flavors of French onion soup with the satisfying texture of baked bread and cheese. This dish is perfect for cozy family dinners or as a delightful side.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2–3 Tbs butter or margarine
- 3 large sweet onions or 4 medium white or yellow onions
- 2 cups shredded Swiss cheese (8 oz.)
- 1 can cream of chicken soup, undiluted (or cream of mushroom soup for vegetarian)
- 2/3 cup milk
- 1 tsp soy sauce
- 8 slices of French bread
- Pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the Onions: Slice the onions and try not to cry!
- Sauté the Onions: Melt butter in a sauté pan over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they are clear; a little browning is okay.
- Layer the Casserole: In a shallow 2-quart casserole dish, layer the sautéed onions, 2/3 of the shredded Swiss cheese, and pepper to taste.
- Make the Soup Mixture: In a saucepan, heat the cream of chicken soup, milk, and soy sauce, stirring to blend. Pour this mixture over the layered onions and cheese, stirring gently to combine.
- Top with Bread: Arrange the slices of French bread on top of the casserole. Bake uncovered at 350°F (175°C) for 15 minutes until the bread is nice and toasted.
- Add Remaining Cheese: Push the bread slices down into the sauce and top with the remaining Swiss cheese.
- Final Bake: Return the casserole to the oven and bake for an additional 15 minutes until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
You can substitute cream of mushroom soup for a vegetarian option.
