    I wish I was more proficient on the computer, I could scan and send this onion casserole to you. But you're a cook.  Take your french onion soup recipe. Do what you would with the onions. At the point you would add the water or broth don't. Reduce the amount you would make soup with.   Add enough water to get the charred stuff off the bottom. The good stuff.

     Take a liitle broth with either corn starch or wonder flour mix and add too the onions. Add enough broth about 1 cup----so that it 's not too thick or too thin. Then place in a casserole If you add sherry 1/4 cup or 1./2 cup dry white wine--------or whatevers in the kitchen.. 1/4 tsp oregano/basil/thyme. I clove mince garlic. 4 onions minced or julienned or whatever to begin with will sautees down to a nice golden brown. then add the above. Put in 1qrt casserrole and chill. then cook at 350 degress for 30 minutes>>then bake uncovered for10 minutes after adding 1/4 c shredded swiss cheese and 2Tbl fresh grated parmesan cheese cover with favorite groutons --I preferred spiced.

    Basically, once you have the idea that this could have been a soup. You can do whatever you want to it. It's Onions. What can you do to wreck onions. I do though believe Marjoram lends a unique taste vs oregano. I know same family, but they do have a different flavor.

    Great with Lamb or Prime rib. Make sure it's cooked long enough that you don't have that flavor of uncooked flower.  Kind of an upside down recipe , but i'm kind of upside down now.

    Thinking of lamb that really tastes like lamb with apple or mint jelly, this casserole goes well.

    What's a bummer here in the USA is we never get Lamb that actually tastes like lamb------i'll avoid the joke that it tastes like chicken----------but it tastes like beef.       Bummer----if you want lamb, it ought to taste like lamb. Chrissyb let me know what you think, You likely have this recipe alreadyCool sas

    Thanks Shiela.  I don't have it but I do have a French onion soup recipe but never thought of making a casserole.  Sounds tasty and interesting.   The lamb here is beautiful and I prefer it to beef but I have such trouble with my jaw that I find eating meat is getting harder and harder unless it's cooked to the point of desintergration........lol.......meat of any sort is getting expensive so it is becoming a three times a week thing rather than an every night of the week thing.  We tend to eat more eggs and chicken.......but that doesn't matter, whatever you do with meat you can do with chicken!

    Love n hugs.  Chrissy

    Thanks -----for your belief in me , it was tough------, real tough, it didn't help that Fri was our 39th wedding anniversary. So, bad . finally got moving this afternoon. I had a boss that was a bully. for along time. With bully's somehow they can take whatever you say and make a negative. I'm not good with bullies unless they are hurting someone else.--------then I'm a protective bear.  I always said to DS choose a field that you can speak your mind always. While I'm not nor will ever be able to nurse again. The younger days of being under nuns---------still working trough that process. But DB and SIS also had polio, I was the protector---don't mess with them or you'll mess with me. . SO, my mind has been screwed up by so many. Be polite etc. Whereas , if I told you stories about twin as a cop. OMG your ears would turn blue and funny OMG. But you could see even though , i was being bullied I wasn't going to back down on a belief.  But after close to 2000 post here that was a first. Bummer

    Shiela, Oh my......it definitely was not a good day for you.  I know after loosing someone you love, the firsts are always dreadful..........take heart my friend, it does get better, it just take time......I know, een there, done that.   Of late I have noticed lot of what happened on Friday and I think most of it comes not from being an aggressive personality but from pure fear.  Unfortunatley we all don't handle this Dx well and fear makes people lash out when it's not necessary.  I expect to be on the recieving end at some point but I do understand that it makes you fell like crap when it happens as the major thing we try to do here is help each other.

    Love n hugs.  Chrissy

    Probably because it's force fed or grain fed only.  True flavour developes from the food they eat.  Here we have something called Salt Bush Lamb and the flavour is spectacular and the reason is, the sheep eat salt bush exclusively and you sure can taste the difference between it and pasture fed.
