Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 large white onion
2 c shredded swiss cheese divided or 1/2 with shredded co-jack
2 Tbsp butter
1 can(s) cream of chicken and mushroom soup
2/3 c milk or half and half. i used whipping cream and it's richer but better
1 tsp soy sauce
8 slice french bread buttered on both sides

Steps:

  • 1. In a skillet, saute the onions till they are translucent and just browning.
  • 2. Layer them in the bottom of a 2 qt. casserole. Top with 1/2 of the cheese or cheeses you have mixed.

  • 4. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Push the bread down into the soup a bit, cover with the rest of the cheese and bake another 15. I topped mine with some seasoning salt and basil. This is a great dish to serve with a roast or on those meatless meal nights.

Tips:

  • Use a sharp knife to thinly slice the onions. This will help them cook evenly.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can grate the cheese by hand.
  • Be sure to use a baking dish that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients.
  • If you are using a glass baking dish, be sure to grease it well to prevent the casserole from sticking.
  • Bake the casserole until the top is golden brown and the center is bubbly.
  • Let the casserole cool for a few minutes before serving.
