It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).

Here's a delicious Beef Burgundy served over egg noodles. The mixture features tender beef strips, mushrooms, and a tangy wine sauce for an easy yet classic dish.

1/2 pound boneless beef sirloin steak, cut into 1/4" strips
2 tablespoons diced onion
2 teaspoons butter or margarine
1 1/2 cup quartered fresh mushrooms
3/4 cup red wine or beef broth
1/4 cup water, PLUS"PLUS" means this ingredient in addition to the one on the next line, often with divided uses
2 tablespoons water, divided
3 tablespoons minced fresh parsley, divided
1 bay leaf
1 whole clove
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon flour
1/2 teaspoon browning sauce, optional
1 1/2 cup hot cooked egg noodles
In a Dutch oven or nonstick skillet, brown beef and onion in butter over medium heat. Add the mushrooms, wine or broth, 1/4 cup water, 2 Tbs. parsley, bay leaf, clove, salt and pepper.
Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 1 hour or until beef is tender.
Combine flour and remaining water until smooth; stir into beef mixture. Bring to a boil; cook and stir for 2 minutes or until thickened. Discard bay leaf and clove. Stir in browning sauce if desired.
Serve over noodles. Sprinkle with remaining parsley.

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.
