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.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

I only cooked this on low for 4 hours because everything was cooked before it went into the crock pot so it didn't really need to cook that long. I used hot Italian turkey sausage. I cooked it first then sliced it.
