I've been in a slump lately regarding dinner. I love to cook and create new things but by 3 or 4 in the afternoon when I should be starting dinner prep I'm so tired and worn out I can't even think about what I want to make. But that also doesn't mean I want to eat frozen casseroles for the next three months. So when I stumbled upon this gem in my email yesterday from Pillsbury I knew I had to make it. Almost all the prep is done in the morning (when I have some energy) and then left to cook all day in the crock-pot!
So here it is a new one for us, I'll be sure to let you know how it turned out!
Slow-Cooker Rustic French Onion Soup

- 3/4 cup dry sherry
- 1/4 cup water
- 1 carton (32 oz) Progresso® beef-flavored broth (4 cups)
- 20 slices (1/2 inch thick) baguette (about 10 oz)
- 6 oz Gruyère cheese, shredded (1 1/2 cups) (Store didn't have this, bought Swiss instead)
Steps

Broil with tops 3 inches from heat 2 minutes, turning once, until lightly browned. Sprinkle cheese evenly over slices; broil 1 minute longer or until cheese is bubbly. Top each bowl of soup with 2 cheese toasts. Sprinkle with fresh thyme.Follow me on facebook - www.facebook.com/alongthewaytoblessed
