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.

Sloppy Joes done the Texas way - piled high with ground beef, pinto beans, and green chiles.

1 pound ground beef
1 envelope sloppy joe seasoning mix
1 can (14.5 ounce size) pinto beans, rinsed and drained
1 can (8 ounce size) tomato sauce
1/4 cup ketchup
1 can (4 ounce size) chopped green chiles
shredded cheese, optional
8 hamburger rolls, Texas toast, or flour tortillas
Brown the ground beef in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Drain off any excess grease.
Add the sloppy joe seasoning, pinto beans, tomato sauce, ketchup, and green chiles to the skillet. Mix well. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Serve the Texas-style sloppy joes topped with cheese on hamburger buns, Texas toast, or flour tortillas.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
