I had some chicken sausage made with Asiago cheese and
spinach I get at Sam’s club. I would rather have some good fresh pork sausage or
brats from my butcher but the wife likes these so I fix her some at times. I
had some mini naan bread that would be perfect buns to use.
My onion soup is just simple caramelized onions, some good beef
stock, bread and cheese to melt on top. I have tried different recipes, some
with sherry or wine but we just like it simple.
I got the sausages on my Traeger at 200 deg. to smoke for an
hour. Then I cut up 5 med. sweet onions and got them on to caramelize in some
butter, I add a pinch of salt and sugar to them. It took about 20 minutes to
get them where I wanted. I melted 3 Tbs. of butter in a sauce pan and then 3
Tbs. of flour, stirred to make a blond roux and added in a quart of beef stock.
When it started to boil I added in the onions and about 1/2 teaspoon thyme and
two pours of Worcestershire sauce.
I let the onion soup simmer and brought in the sausage to
brown up in the same skillet I did the onions in. For the bread I like to use a
half English muffin toasted to float the cheese on. I added a good handful of 6 blend Italian cheese to each bowl and melted under the broiler. I didn't think I should call this French Onion Soup since I used Italian Cheese and English Muffins!
My wife and I both liked the soup and thought the naan bread
was perfect for the sausage buns.
