EASY CROCK POT FRENCH ONION SOUP

INGREDIENTS

3 large onions, sliced (~3 cups)

2 tablespoons butter, melted

3 tablespoons all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon sugar

1/4 teaspoon pepper

4 (15 oz) cans beef broth (or equivalent of other broth)

1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce

8 slices French bread, cut 1 inch thick

1/2 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

DIRECTIONS

Mix onions and butter in crock-pot.  Cover and cook on high 30 to 35 minutes or until onions begin to slightly brown around edges.  Add flour, sugar, and pepper to onions.  Stir broth and Worcestershire sauce into onions.  Cover and cook on low 7 to 9 hours (high 3 to 4 hours).  15 minutes before serving, place bread on baking sheet.  Sprinkle with cheeses.  Broil on high until cheese melts.  Watch carefully to prevent burning.  Pour soup into bowls and place a slice of bread on top of each bowl of soup.  Serve immediately.
