By froggyess

Ingredients

• 4 medium sweet onions, thinly sliced
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 4 tablespoons of butter
• 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
• 2 tablespoons brown sugar
• 3 tablespoons flour
• 8 ounces of beer (Winter Ale works great)
• 64 ounces (2 boxes) beef stock
• 2 tablespoons fresh thyme or 1 TBSP dried thyme
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• french bread
• provolone cheese, sliced

Preparation

Step 1

Set your crock pot on high, then add onions, garlic, brown sugar, butter, salt and balsamic and mix until combined. Cover and let cook for 2 hours, stirring occasionally, until onions are a bit caramely and brown on the edges.

Add in flour, then stir thoroughly and let sit for 5 minutes.

Add in beer, beef stock, thyme, and pepper, then turn heat down to low, cover and cook for 6-8 hours.

Before serving, cut french bread or baguette into slices. Fill soup bowls to the top, then cover with slice of bread and a slice of cheese. Set under the broiler for 2-3 minutes, or until cheese is bubbly and golden brown.
