Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
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.

Wonderful. I resisted the urge to add anything to it including salt, and it was perfect just the way it's written. (I did add some salt to the pasta water.)
