Perfect for fall evenings, this hearty casserole has all the rich flavor of French onion soup. The cheese-topped mashed potatoes over the filling beef and onion combo makes for a satisfying weeknight meal. You can double the recipe and freeze a batch for a later night, too!<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/strong><\/h3>\n

2 large Pittman & Davis Onions<\/a>, halved and thinly sliced<\/p>\n

1 Tbsp. canola oil<\/p>\n

1 lb. ground beef<\/p>\n

2 Tbsp all-purpose flour<\/p>\n

1\/2 teaspoon salt<\/p>\n

1 can (14\u00bd oz.) reduced-sodium beef broth<\/p>\n

2 Tbsp. brandy or additional reduced-sodium beef broth<\/p>\n

1 Tbsp. Worcestershire sauce<\/p>\n

1 Tbsp. stone-ground mustard<\/p>\n

3 c. mashed potatoes<\/p>\n

1 c. shredded Swiss cheese<\/p>\n

Directions:<\/strong><\/h3>\n
    \n
  • In a large skillet, saut\u00e9 onions in oil until softened. Reduce heat to medium-low; cook until deep golden brown (35-40 minutes), stirring occasionally.<\/li>\n
  • Meanwhile, in a large saucepan, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in flour and salt until well blended; cook 1 minute longer. Combine broth, brandy, Worcestershire sauce and mustard. Gradually stir into pan. Bring to a boil; cook and stir until thickened (about 2 minutes). Stir in onions; heat through.<\/li>\n
  • Transfer beef mixture to a greased 8″x8″ square baking dish. Spread with potatoes; sprinkle with cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 375\u00b0F until bubbly and cheese is melted (30-35 minutes). If desired, increase heat to 475\u00b0F and bake an additional 8-10 minutes until top is golden brown.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":4868,"menu_order":0,"template":"","tags":[338,339],"cuisine-recipe-category":[52],"cuisine-recipe-course":[],"cuisine-recipe-cuisine":[],"class_list":["post-4867","cuisine-recipe","type-cuisine-recipe","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-onions","tag-texas-1015-onions","cuisine-recipe-category-meats-and-main-courses"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe\/4867","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/cuisine-recipe"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4868"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=4867"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=4867"},{"taxonomy":"cuisine-recipe-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe-category?post=4867"},{"taxonomy":"cuisine-recipe-course","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe-course?post=4867"},{"taxonomy":"cuisine-recipe-cuisine","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blog2.pittmandavis.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/cuisine-recipe-cuisine?post=4867"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
