Applebee's Copy cat Recipes

Okay, here's a copycat recipe for Applebee's tasty French Onion Soup. Hope you like it!

• White onions - 6 (sliced)
• Beef stock - 8 cups
• Water - 1 cup
• Hamburger buns - 5
• Parmesan cheese - 10 teaspoons
• Provolone cheese - 10 slices
• Salt - 2 to 3 teaspoons
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Oil - 3 tablespoons
• Garlic powder - 1/2 teaspoon

1. Heat oil in large pot to medium heat. Saute the onions for 8 to 10 minutes until they're soft.
2. Add in beef stock, water, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Bring to a boil. When boiling, reduce heat and simmer for 45 minutes.
3. Separate the hamburger buns top and bottom. Cut the crown off the top half, so top and bottom are same size. Then bake at 325F for about 20 minutes. These are your croutons.
4. When the soup is done, spoon 1 cup into an oven-safe bowl, and place a crouton on top. Lay a slice of provolone cheese on top, and sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of parmesan cheese over the provolone.
5. Turn the heat of oven to broil and cook the soup for 5 minutes or so until cheese is melted, and turning golden. Spread another 1/2 teaspoon parmesan on top and serve
