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.

ingredients
1 box (7.25 ounce size) macaroni & cheese mix
2 teaspoons salt, divided
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 tablespoon oil
4 potatoes, peeled and cubed
2/3 cup diced onions
2 tablespoons butter

directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Prepare the macaroni (without the cheese sauce mix) as directed on the package. Add half the salt, the oregano, and Italian seasoning. Set aside.
Heat a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the oil, potatoes, and onions. Cook, stirring frequently, until the potatoes and onions are soft. Season with remaining salt.
Remove the potatoes and onions to a bowl. Add the butter and mash the potatoes. Set aside.
Beat together the egg and milk. Add the cheese sauce mix and half the shredded cheese. Combine the cheese mixture with the cooked macaroni and mashed potatoes. Mix well then place in a baking dish. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheese.
Place the baking dish in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 10-15 minutes or until heated through and the cheese is melted.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
