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

The trick to this never-fail stew is that it is slowly cooked in a sealed Dutch oven. By sealing the lid on, moisture is trapped inside and the beef doesn't dry out.

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.
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 browned the beef first because that's what I always do. Then followed the directions. Very flavorful and the meat was incredibly tender. Hardest part was not peeking during the cooking time because it smelled great!
