I don’t know about you, but when I see the words “french onion” preceding anything…my mouth instantly starts to water.

I’m a huge fan of sauteed onions and that sweetness that’s released from this precious veggie. Adding it to almost any savory dish or protein makes it so much better than before – maybe that’s just a personal opinion though.

This entree can easily be made in the pressure cooker or the slow cooker. It’s so versatile! You can pair it with rice, mashed potatoes, diced potatoes, top some baked potatoes or noodles, eat it all by itself, or put it on a roll or bun for a handheld sandwich – you name it!

This recipe DOES use a ton of onions. Trust me, they cook way down! You have to use this much if you want anything to be left and enjoyed when the dish is finished.

Note: SAVE THE BROTH and some onions. It is basically French Onion Soup – which is also one of the most amazing soups known to man. Top a bowl of it with some croutons, some shredded provolone or a big ol slice and broil that bad boy up! It’s incredible easy to get two meals out of this recipe!
