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.

First of all let me say this recipe is the best tasting beans I have ever made. I have tried tons of bean recipes over the years, trying to find a favorite but all were missing that one thing. I made a couple of changes: I used 1/2 lb of maple bacon and I used 1 big vadalia onion cut in fourths and put 2whole cloves into each. I misunderstood the directions though it said to bring to a boil and cook covered for 1/2 hour or just tender. I thought that meant keep it on high😳 it kept boiling over until the lightbulb in my head said duh!!! Lower the heat silly. 😋so by that time the beans were already cooked I kept doing the recipe though. I cooked on low in the crockpot for about 5 hours and they were a little mushy but wee so yummy I didn't care. Hubby loved too. I am making them again this weekend. Will be ecstatic if they come out great this time. I am hoping this will be "the recipe" finally.
