Onion Beef Fettuccine Recipe

In a skillet, saute onions in butter for 10-15 minutes or until caramelized. Remove onions with a slotted spoon. In the same skillet, cook beef over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Return onions to skillet. In a bowl, combine the flour, brown sugar, salt, pepper and cumin. Gradually stir in the broth until smooth. Add to skillet; bring to a boil. Cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Place fettuccine in a greased 4-qt. baking dish. Top with beef mixture. Combine cheeses; sprinkle over the top. Bake, uncovered, at 450° for 15 minutes or until cheese is melted. Yield: 8 servings. Caramelizing onions brings out their natural sweetness and mellows their sharp flavor. To reduce the risk of burning, sauce the onions in butter over low heat just until onions are coated with the browned butter.
