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.

Slow-cooked round steak makes some pulled beef sandwiches that give pulled pork a run for its money. Brown sugar and tomato paste make a sweet, thick sauce for the shredded beef.
3 pounds beef round steak
1 cup chopped onions
1 can (12 ounce size) beer
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/2 cup ketchup
1/4 cup cider vinegar
1 can (6 ounce size) tomato paste
2 tablespoons chili powder
salt, to taste
hamburger buns
Trim excess fat from beef; cut into large chunks. Place in crockpot. Add all remaining ingredients (except for buns). Stir to mix. Cook on LOW for 8-10 hours.
Remove meat from crockpot. Shred meat (two forks do the trick nicely); return meat to crockpot. Stir meat into sauce; let sit for 10 minutes.
Serve on hamburger buns.

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).
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
