Bonnies French Dip Soup Recipes

FRENCH ONION SOUP DIP

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to broil.
• Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are very tender and caramelized, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, melt the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat, then brush butter on both sides of the bread. Transfer to a baking sheet. Broil until lightly toasted and golden, about 1 minute per side. Set aside for serving.
• Once the onions are caramelized, add the sherry and continue to cook until the liquid has reduced completely, about 1 minute. Pour in the beef broth and Worcestershire and scrape any brown bits from the bottom of the skillet with a wooden spoon. Simmer until the broth has reduced by half, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat.
• Stir in the cream cheese, 1/2 cup of the mozzarella, sour cream and Parmesan until smooth and creamy. Top with the remaining 1/2 cup mozzarella. Broil until the mozzarella on top is lightly browned and the dip is bubbling at the edges, about 2 minutes. Top with chopped chives and serve with toasted bread.

BONNIE'S AWESOME FRENCH DIP SANDWICHES

Steps:

• 1. Place the chuck roast in the slow cooker. Add the French onion soup, can of beef broth, and the 12 ounce bottle of Guiness beer. Whatever is in this beer works its magic on the au jus, so don't mess with it. Cook on low in the slow cooker for 4 to 6 hours until very tender.
• 2. When done, remove the meat and let it sit for about 15 minutes. Slice the meat on the diagonal and return to the juices for another 20 minutes or so.
• 3. This is a superb recipe for French dip sandwiches or whatever your creative mind can come up with. I buy whole wheat sub rolls, or soft whole wheat Bolillio rolls (pictured) to serve up the French dip sandwiches, then ladle up a monkey dish of au jus and serve the sandwiches with my oven fries and a green salad. It serves a crowd with minimal work, and leftovers are good the next day. It also freezes well.
• 4. This recipe makes a good amount of au jus. Save the leftover au jus in a ziplock, freeze it for beef soup later on. Enjoy!
