Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
reviews & comments
I found that there was some spice that would have improved the recipe -- I added cinnamon, nutmeg, and allspice to good effect. I also found that the amount of bourbon was *way* too high. I got a contact high off of the fumes when mashing everything together. I'd recommend cutting the alcohol content in half, compensating with cream/milk if too thick.
