Time 1h15m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 17

4 tablespoons butter
1 teaspoon salt
2 large red onions, thinly sliced
2 large sweet onions, thinly sliced
1 (48 fluid ounce) can chicken broth
1 (14 ounce) can beef broth
½ cup red wine
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
2 sprigs fresh parsley
1 sprig fresh thyme leaves
1 bay leaf
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
4 thick slices French or Italian bread
8 slices Gruyere or Swiss cheese slices, room temperature
½ cup shredded Asiago or mozzarella cheese, room temperature
4 pinches paprika

Steps:

  • Melt butter in a large pot over medium-high heat. Stir in salt, red onions and sweet onions. Cook 35 minutes, stirring frequently, until onions are caramelized and almost syrupy.
  • Mix chicken broth, beef broth, red wine and Worcestershire sauce into pot. Bundle the parsley, thyme, and bay leaf with twine and place in pot. Simmer over medium heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove and discard the herbs. Reduce the heat to low, mix in vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Cover and keep over low heat to stay hot while you prepare the bread.
  • Preheat oven broiler. Arrange bread slices on a baking sheet and broil 3 minutes, turning once, until well toasted on both sides. Remove from heat; do not turn off broiler.
  • Arrange 4 large oven safe bowls or crocks on a rimmed baking sheet. Fill each bowl 2/3 full with hot soup. Top each bowl with 1 slice toasted bread, 2 slice Gruyere cheese and 1/4 of the Asiago or mozzarella cheese. Sprinkle a little bit of paprika over the top of each one.
  • Broil 5 minutes, or until bubbly and golden brown. As it softens, the cheese will cascade over the sides of the crock and form a beautifully melted crusty seal. Serve immediately!

Number Of Ingredients 23

For the onions:
1 Tablespoon olive oil
2 onions, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 Tablespoon fresh thyme or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 cup beef broth
1/4 cup red wine (I used Gallo Family Pinot Noir)
For the meatballs:
1 1/2 lbs ground beef
1/4 cup bread crumbs or ground oats (gluten free, if needed)
1 Tablespoon minced fresh parsley
1 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1 egg
8 oz mozzarella cheese (about 1-2 oz into sixteen approximately half-inch cubes, to stuff the meatballs, the remainder shredded)
1/2 Tablespoon olive oil
Fresh chopped parsley for garnish, optional
For the sauce:
1 3/4 cup beef broth
1/4 cup red wine (I used Gallo Family Pinot Noir)
2 Tablespoons cornstarch
salt & pepper, to taste

Steps:

  • 1.In a large nonstick pan over medium-low heat, saute onions and butter stirring occasionally until golden brown and caramelized. 2.Add the thyme, salt, water, bouillon, and wine. Cook over medium heat until reduced by half. Let cool. 3.Combine the milk soaked bread, ½ cup panko, parsley, pepper, salt, and egg in a bowl and mix together until everything is a happy gloopy mess. Mix in the ground beef with your hands until the gloopy mess is evenly distributed into the meat. If necessary to make the meat formable, mix in additional ¼ cup of panko. 4.Grab a small handful of the meat and flatten in your palm. Add some cheese and onions, and fold meat over and around it, sealing the edges as best as you can. This is a messy process. Repeat until all meat has been stuffed. 5.In a large nonstick skillet, heat canola oil over medium high heat. Brown meatballs on all sides. Remove to an oven safe dish when browned. Don't worry about these cooking all the way through. They will finish cooking in the oven. 6.Make sauce by combining all ingredients in a saucepan, and simmering for 10 minutes. Pour over meatballs, and top the meatballs with any extra onions, with the shredded mozzarella cheese, and any extra provolone you didn't use to stuff the meatballs. 7.Bake at 350 for 30 minutes, Remove, top with fresh chopped parsley, and serve with mashed potatoes.

FRENCH ONION SOUP POTATO GRATIN

Provided by Food Network

Categories     side-dish

Time 2h25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 tablespoons unsalted butter, wrapper reserved
5 large Spanish onions, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
About 3/4 cup beef stock
2 tablespoons sherry
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound Gruyere, shredded
8 ounces mozzarella, shredded
1 1/4 cups heavy cream
1 1/4 cups beef stock
One 4 1/2-ounce bag premade croutons, lightly crushed
One 3 1/2-ounce bag French fried onions

Steps:

  • For the caramelized onions: In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, melt the butter. Once melted and bubbling, add a large handful of the onions and cook until translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Repeat until all the onions have been added. Season with a pinch of salt and black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions turn medium brown, about 30 minutes. If the onions start to get too dark, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of beef stock as necessary. Add the sherry to deglaze the pan. Add the mustard and stir to coat. Season with salt and pepper. Remove from the heat and set aside.
  • For the potato gratin: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Using a mandoline or a sharp knife, cut the potatoes into thin slices. Do your best to keep the potatoes in a stack--this will make it easier to layer them in the pan. Set the potatoes aside.
  • Use the reserved butter wrapper to lightly grease the bottom and sides of a large (12-inch) cast-iron skillet. Discard the wrapper.
  • Arrange a thin shingled layer of potatoes in concentric circles around the skillet. Season the potatoes with salt and pepper, then arrange an even layer of caramelized onions on top of the potatoes. Season with salt and pepper.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the Gruyere and mozzarella and reserve half for later use. Sprinkle on a layer of the remaining cheese mixture over the onions. Repeat the layers until all the ingredients (not including the reserved cheese) have been used. Press down firmly on the layers to flatten.
  • In a large bowl or measuring cup, combine the heavy cream and beef stock and pour over the gratin. Cover the skillet with foil and place on a sheet pan. Bake the potatoes, covered, until the top and edges have begun to brown and the potatoes are tender, 1 hour 15 to 1 hour 30 minutes. You can test by inserting a knife into the potatoes; if it goes in and comes out without resistance, then the potatoes are done.
  • Remove the skillet from the oven, remove the foil and turn the broiler on high. Combine the croutons and French fried onions. Cover the gratin with a layer of the crouton mixture followed by the remaining cheese. Broil until golden brown and bubbly, 5 to 8 minutes. Serve and enjoy!

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients. The better the ingredients, the better the soup will be. Use fresh vegetables, a good quality beef broth, and a flavorful cheese.
  • Caramelize the onions slowly. This is what gives the soup its rich flavor. Cook the onions over low heat for at least 30 minutes, or until they are golden brown.
  • Use a variety of cheeses. A combination of Gruyère, Swiss, and Parmesan cheeses gives the soup a complex and flavorful taste.
  • Don't skimp on the bread. The bread is what soaks up all the delicious soup. Use a good quality baguette or sourdough bread.
  • Broil the soup until it's bubbly and golden brown. This gives the soup a nice crust and makes it even more delicious.

French onion soup is a classic dish that is perfect for a cold winter night. It's hearty, flavorful, and comforting. And with the addition of au gratin-stuffed meatloaf, it becomes a complete meal that is sure to please everyone at the table.
