Add the thinly sliced onions to a 6 quart slow cooker. Stir in butter, brown sugar, 1 t. salt, sherry vinegar and Worcestershire sauce. Cover; cook on High 8-9 hours or on Low for 12-14 hours or until onions are caramelized and browned, stirring halfway through, as needed, to prevent burning.
Stir in beef stock, season, to taste with salt and pepper; add thyme sprigs and bay leaves. Cover; cook on High 2-3 hours or on Low 4-5 hours. When done, discard thyme and bay leaves.
Preheat oven to broil.
Place baguette slices on a baking sheet; broil until golden brown on both sides, about 1-2 minutes per side.
Place ovenproof bowls on a baking sheet; ladle soup into the bowls; top each bowl with 2 toasted baguette slices, the bread should cover the soup; top with lots of Gruyère shredded cheese.
Broil in the oven until the cheese is bubbly and golden brown, about 2 minutes.
Serve immediately.
