Ingredients
1
can (11 oz) refrigerated Pillsbury™ Original French Bread
1/2
teaspoon butter or margarine
1
boneless beef rib-eye steak (1/2 lb), trimmed of fat, cut into bite-size strips
1/4
teaspoon salt
Dash pepper
1
can (18.5 oz) Progresso™ Vegetable Classics French onion soup
1
can (4 oz) mushroom pieces and stems, drained
1/2
cup shredded provolone cheese (2 oz)
3
tablespoons chopped green bell pepper
Preparation
Heat oven to 350°F. Bake French loaf as directed on can. Meanwhile, in 2-quart saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add beef strips; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook and stir until browned. Stir in soup; heat to boiling. Reduce heat to medium-low; simmer uncovered 20 minutes.
Stir mushrooms into soup; cook until thoroughly heated. Cut 2 (1-inch-thick) diagonal slices from warm loaf; reserve remaining loaf to serve with soup.
Set oven control to broil. Ladle soup into 2 (15-oz) ovenproof bowls. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of the cheese onto each serving. Top each with bread slice. Sprinkle bell pepper and remaining cheese evenly over each.
Place bowls on cookie sheet; broil 4 to 6 inches from heat 1 to 2 minutes or until cheese is bubbly and bread is toasted. Serve soup with remaining slices of loaf.
