War Shortages Onion Dish!
- 1 -2 loaf brown bread, sliced thinly
- butter
- 3 -4 large onions, thinly sliced, sweet onion
- 18 slices processed cheese (guessing here ( use Velveeta or similar)
- 3 -4 cups chicken stock (or beef, and I'm guessing the quantity)
- salt and pepper
- 12 cup grated cheese
- Heat oven to 325 deg F/160 deg Celsius.
- Butter a deep square or rectangular oven dish.
- Butter the bread slices thinly; do not cut off crusts.
- Cover base of dish with a layer of buttered bread slices, then add a layer of onion rings.
- Season with salt (sparingly) and white pepper.
- Cover that with a layer of processed cheese slices.
- Cover with another layer of buttered bread, a layer of onion, and then again a layer of cheese slices.
- Do a third layer, and then finish with a last top layer of buttered bread.
- Carefully stick holes all over, right through this stack, with a large fork.
- Pour in enough stock so that the bread almost seems to float.
- You'll have to wait for the stock to be absorbed before you add more.

- Take off the foil, sprinkle with grated cheese and brown quickly under a hot grill.
