"This pasta casserole hits the classic soup with a few hearty upgrades (namely pasta and ground beef) that usher the French onion flavor profile foodies love into entree territory. Any short pasta shape you have on-hand will work here, but here at Tasting Table, our top pick is orecchiette (Italian for "little ears"). These small concave scoops can hold more of that flavorful broth and cheese in every bite."
"Word to the wise: Perhaps fittingly for French onion soup (which is traditionally served in a handled ceramic crock), this recipe requires a large, broiler-safe pot, such as a Dutch oven. If you don't have one stocked in your kitchen, then brown the ground beef and caramelize the onions in a separate pan on the stovetop. The deglazed beef and onions can then be baked wit"
Modern French onion soup-inspired casserole combines caramelized onions, white wine, thyme, nutty Gruyère, pasta, and ground beef into a filling, one-pot entree suitable for weeknights or dinner parties. The recipe begins with deeply caramelized onions to build savory depth and encourages using any short pasta, with orecchiette recommended to capture broth and cheese. A large broiler-safe pot or Dutch oven is advised so the assembled casserole can be finished under the broiler; otherwise, cook components separately and bake together. The dish balances humble ingredients through time and technique to create complex, comforting flavors.
