After some encouragement, here is my entry for the cook off.
French Onion soup recipe can be found athttp://www.desumama.com/slow-cooker-french-onion-soup-recipe/
I did not use the bread as I am being carb conscious, and topped it with Swiss cheese. That was cooked in the crock pot.

Squash was sliced, and sautéed with butter and Parmesan cheese on the grill. (We have a griddle attachment for our grill, but you could do the same thing by wrapping them in foil).

Creamed Spinach
1 pkg chopped spinach (I thawed it first)
3 oz cream cheese (I used fat free)
2 wedges French Onion Laughing Cow cheese (you could easily leave this out and add another ounce of cream cheese if you don't have this on hand)
Parmesan cheese to taste.

Mix all ingredients. Microwave until warm. Top with a little more Parmesan.

Finally the steak
Top with Montreal steak seasoning and grill to your desired doneness (if that's a word).

No need to go to Longhorn. You can have a steakhouse meal on the truck!
