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

A new favorite! Unlike other short rib recipes, this one doesn't have you dredge the ribs in flour before browning. You can do this if you prefer, it won't change the recipe. The recipe calls for 3 quarts of stock. We did find this to be too much. Half of that is sufficient. You want to braise the ribs, not drown them. Add stock to fill your pan to just have enough liquid to nestle the ribs down into them. They should be mostly covered. The amount of liquid you use will depend on the size/shape of your pan too. We used baby carrots instead of diced. We strained the braising liquid but added the cooked carrots and some of the celery back with the ribs when serving.
