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.

Enjoy a classic with this scrapple recipe, where pork and cornmeal blend together for a simple slice of comfort food that gets crispy in the skillet.

1 pound boneless cooked pork loin, chopped
1 cup cornmeal
1 can (14.5 ounce size) chicken broth
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil, as needed
In a large saucepan, combine pork, cornmeal, chicken broth, thyme and salt. Bring to a boil, stirring often. Reduce heat and simmer about 2 minutes or until mixture is very thick, stirring constantly.
Line an 8-inch x 8-inch x 2-inch baking pan or a 9-inch x 5-inch x 3-inch loaf pan with waxed paper, letting paper extend 3-4 inches above top of pan. Spoon pork mixture into pan. Cover and chill in the refrigerator 4 hours or overnight.
Unmold; cut scrapple into squares. Combine flour and pepper; dust squares with flour mixture.
In large skillet brown scrapple on both sides in a small amount of hot oil.

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).
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

I had never had "scrapple" before so I was curious. Easy enough to make, it tasted different than I thought it would based on the ingredients. But it was good.
