Slow Cooker French Onion Soup

Recently, I rediscovered the Betty Crocker recipe website.  I've perused the page before, but kinda forgot about it.  I was hungry when I clicked through countless recipes and so ended up with many dinner ideas.

An image of French Onion soup was on the entry page which immediately caught my eye.  Today, I stocked up on the necessary ingredients.  My picture didn't turn out as nice as the website photo, but the soup was tasty.
Here's what you will need
Soup
3
large onions, sliced (3 cups)
3
tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
3
tablespoons all-purpose flour
1
tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1
teaspoon sugar
1/4
teaspoon pepper
4
cans (14 1/2 ounces each) ready-to-serve beef broth
Cheesy Broiled French Bread
8
slices French bread, 1 inch thick
3/4
cup shredded mozzarella cheese (3 ounces)
2
tablespoons grated or shredded Parmesan cheese
  • 1Mix onions and margarine in 3 1/2- to 6-quart slow cooker.
  • 2Cover and cook on high heat setting 30 to 35 minutes or until onions begin to slightly brown around edges.
  • 3Mix flour, Worcestershire sauce, sugar and pepper. Stir flour mixture and broth into onions. Cover and cook on low heat setting 7 to 9 hours (or high heat setting 3 to 4 hours) or until onions are very tender.
  • 4Prepare Cheesy Broiled French Bread. Place 1 slice bread on top of each bowl of soup. Serve immediately.
