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.

Choose a good quality deli ham for the best flavor and texture.

If the pickles are too wet, pat them dry with a paper towel before rolling them in the ham.

Its the best with Budding Corn Beef. Then if you roll it up and slice it into 3 section is has a better presentation and serve with tooth picks. You can refrigerate them overnight and serve the next day.
