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.

under 30 minutes
ingredients
1 pound focaccia, cut crosswise into pieces and split horizontally
olive oil, as needed
1/2 cup roughly chopped pitted black olives
8 slices (1 ounce size) fresh mozzarella cheese
32 slices salami
3 tomatoes, sliced 1/4 inch thick
fresh basil leaves as needed
directions
Preheat an electric panini press to 375 degrees F according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Spray or brush both sides of the focaccia pieces with olive oil. Lay the bottom halves of the focaccia, cut sides up, on a work surface and sprinkle with the olives, dividing evenly.
Top each with 2 cheese slices, 8 salami slices, 3 tomato slices and a layer of basil leaves. Cover the sandwiches with the top halves of the focaccia, cut sides down.
Place 2 of the sandwiches on the preheated panini press and cook according to the manufacturers instructions until the cheese is melted, 3 to 4 minutes.
Transfer the sandwiches to a cutting board and cut in half. Repeat with the remaining sandwiches. Serve immediately.
cook's notes
I don't have a panini press, so I put the sandwiches in a skillet and put a smaller skillet on top of the sandwich and weigh it with a brick. Then flip the sandwich and to the other side.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
