FRENCH DIP BUNDTWICH WITH CARAMELIZED ONIONS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350°F. Line 15x10x1-inch pan with foil; set aside. Spray 12-cup fluted tube cake pan with cooking spray.
• Remove dough from both cans; do not unroll. Roll outsides of dough in sesame seed. Place in pan in a circle; pinch ends together to seal into 1 ring. Bake 35 to 40 minutes or until golden brown. Cool slightly, about 10 minutes. Remove bread from pan to cooling rack. Cool completely, about 1 hour.
• In 12-inch nonstick skillet, melt butter over medium-high heat. Add onions, thyme and salt. Cook 10 to 15 minutes, stirring frequently, until starting to brown. Stir in 1/4 cup of the beef broth; continue to cook 3 to 5 minutes or until liquid is absorbed and onions are browned and tender. Remove onion mixture to small bowl. Add 1/2 cup of the broth and the roast beef to skillet. Heat to simmering over medium heat 3 to 5 minutes or until roast beef is heated through.
• With serrated knife, carefully cut bread in half horizontally. Pinch or tear bread from cut sides of top and bottom halves, leaving about a 3/4-inch shell; discard or save bread pieces for another use. Place top half of bread, cut side up, on foil-lined pan; top with half of the mozzarella slices, the roast beef, onion mixture and remaining mozzarella slices.
• Bake 8 to 10 minutes or until cheese is melted; place remaining half of bread onto sandwich and continue baking 5 minutes.
• Meanwhile, add remaining 2 cups broth to broth remaining in skillet. Heat over medium-high heat 2 to 3 minutes or until heated through. Transfer broth to serving dish. To serve, cut sandwich into 8 wedges; serve with heated broth.

CARAMELIZED FRENCH ONION DIP

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large saute pan over medium heat until shimmering, about 2 minutes. Add onions and cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add 1/2 cup water, Worcestershire, beef base, onion powder, and thyme. Increase heat and bring to a boil, stirring constantly until beef base is dissolved.
• Reduce heat to a simmer and cook, stirring occasionally, 30 to 45 minutes. Liquid will slowly evaporate and onions will caramelize. If onions start to stick to the pan, throw in a splash of water and scrape up the delicious bits. Taste before adding sugar, salt, and pepper. Once seasoned to your liking, remove from the heat and let cool to room temperature, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Mix cooled onions with sour cream until well combined. Chill for 1 hour before serving.
