Like French Onion Soup?

I always check out the soup section on any restaurant menu to see if they have french onion soup. I love it and it always struck me as something that would be difficult to replicate at home. Besides, Jeremy's not a huge onion fan so why cook it just for myself anyway?

I found this recipe for a pot pie that tastes pretty close and an added bonus - Jeremy liked it!

Beefy French Onion Potpie

1 lb. ground beef          1 small onion, chopped          1 can french onion soup

1. Cook beef and onion in a skillet over medium heat until beef is no longer pink.
2. Drain the meat and add the soup. 
3. Bring to a boil.
4. Transfer to an ungreased 9 inch pie plate.
5. Sprinkle with cheese.
6. Bake at 350 for 3 minutes or until cheese is melted.

Do you have a favorite thing you when you are out at a restaurant? Chances are that you can find the recipe online or a twist on the recipe like this. You just have to look around. As you get more confident in your cooking, you'll find yourself tweaking recipes based on how they taste and creating your own versions of family favorites.
