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.


5 pounds boneless beef chuck stew meat
2 teaspoons salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil or vegetable oil, divided
1 medium onion, chopped
3 tablespoons ancho chili pepper powder or Mexican-style chili powder
1 can (14.5 ounce size) diced tomatoes with green chilies
3/4 cup dry red wine or chicken broth
4 cloves roasted garlic, minced
Heat oven to 325 degrees F. Toss beef with salt and pepper.
Heat half the oil in a Dutch oven over high heat. Add one-third beef and brown on all sides, about 5 minutes. Transfer to bowl and repeat two more times with beef and oil.
Add the last of the oil to Dutch oven and cook onion until lightly browned. Stir in chili powder, tomatoes, wine and garlic. Bring to a simmer.
Return beef and accumulated juices to dutch oven. Cover and bake 2 1/2 hours, stirring once halfway through cooking time, until beef in very tender.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
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.
