French Onion Bake

"Okay, I can be honest! My favorite part of French Onion Soup is the cheesy bread on top. So when I saw this recipe on a local news show I had to make it! So good! Update: If you prefer, use 2-3 cups of your own French Onion Soup adapted from KSFY.com"

  1. this was very good and very easy. all i had in the house was a can of Progresso Onion Soup so i used that instead of the dry mix. it really does taste like a cup of French Onion Soup with toasted bread and cheese.
     
  2. Easy and tasty - and cheap!! I toasted my baguette slices to within an inch of their lives, then turned the broiler on for the last few minutes of baking time. We loved this dish!
     
  3. this was good, I used mozzarella cheese in place of the Swiss as that is all I had at the time, I found that one long thin baguette worked fine for this, I also seasoned with fresh ground black pepper in the layers, I will make this again next time using the Swiss cheese, thanks for sharing Kitty!
     
  4. Heck yes, the best part of French onion soup IS the cheesy bread! This is a casserole of just that.... I love it! I made this as written, using a bit extra swiss cheese. I think this would be a fun potluck dish. I'll be making this again. Thanx!
     
  5. Very nice recipe. I made my own onion soup, so I could control the salt, and 2 baguettes. I took it to a pot luck lunch and it was enjoyed by all. :)
