Directions:Slice onions and gather all your ingredients.
1)Melt butter with olive oil in large frying pan, continually stirring. Once onions begin to become translucent, add brown sugar and continue cooking until caramelization occurs.
2)Put onions in slow cooker. Return fry pan to burner, heat and add 1 cup beef broth to hot pan, scraping pan, then add to slow cooker along with the remaining beef broth, French onion soup mix, thyme and Worcestershire sauce; cook on medium-low heat 2 hours.
3) While soup is cooking slice bread ¼-inch thick on a diagonal so it will over the top of your soup bowl. Place bread slices on a cookie sheet brush with olive oil and sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top. Bake in a 350-degree oven 10-12 minutes, until bread begins to brown on edges.
4) When ready to serve, place 4 soup bowls on a cookie tray; Turn oven to BROIL, fill each bowl ½-inch from the rim, place bread slice on top, then using two different cheeses, cover bread with cheese and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese, place tray with soup in oven just long enough for cheese to melt and turn slightly brown.

Notes: French Onion Soup has been a family favorite for years. When the kids were younger, I actually purchased a dozen oven proof soup bowls just for preparing French Onion Soup. As Fall temperatures would start dropping, someone in the Family would always ask when I would be making the soup!
