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.

I made this for our Halloween party and the whole crock pot was full. In an hour, it was gone. My friends have asked me to make it again for Thanksgiving. I gave the recipe to a friend who was hosting a card game at her house and her guests loved it as well. It is so tasty and makes your house smell incredible!
