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.

Love the sweet and spicy combo. Just a word of warning though, the high sugar content will burn quicker so keep the ribs away from the flame.
