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.

This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.

The meal was wonderful. The recipe was missing a few steps. According to 2 other sites that had this recipe, after boiling the tomatoes, you peel and chop them. Hope that helps!
