Guest guest Posted January 29, 2008 Report Share Posted January 29, 2008 Somebody was asking about an onion casserole? this is not a casserole but it could be presented as one (bake on a larger casserole dish instead of individual servings). I made it several times, this is what I do when I have extra onions. I have used white, yellow and red onions for it at different times. Really delicious.... , lavender dojay <lavender_dojay wrote: > > Baked French Onion Soup > > 3 tbsps. butter > 1 tbsp. oil > 3 lbs. onion, sliced very thinly > 1 tsp. salt > 1 tsp. white sugar > 3 tbsps. flour > 8 cups broth > 5 cups water > 2 cups dry red wine > 1 bay leaf > 1 tsp. sage > 1 sliced french bread, toasted > 1 mozzarella cheese, shredded > 1 parmesan cheese, shredded > > Melt butter with oil in large soup pot, add sliced > onions and stir to coat, cover pot and cook over > moderately low heat for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring > occasionally until onions are tender and translucent. > Uncover pot and raise heat to moderately high, stir in > salt and sugar (sugar carmelizes and helps onions to > brown), cook about 30 minutes, stirring frequently > until onions have turned an even deep golden brown. > Lower heat to moderate, stir in flour and add a bit > more butter if flour does not absorb into a paste with > the onions.
