Mom dumps 3 lbs of onions in slow cooker overnight, makes irresistible meal

Slow Cooker French Onion Soup is a classic and comforting dish that originates from France. It is made by caramelizing onions to perfection, then simmering them in a rich and flavorful broth. The savory soup is typically topped with melted cheese and served with crunchy baguette slices. This recipe is a fantastic way to showcase the delicious combination of sweet caramelized onions, savory broth, and gooey cheese.

This dish can be enjoyed as a delicious main course or served as a starter before a hearty meal. To enhance the dining experience, consider pairing it with a side of crusty French bread or a mixed green salad. The bread can be used to soak up the flavorful broth, while the salad adds a fresh and crisp contrast to the rich flavors of the soup.
