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.

Start breakfast the night before in your crock pot! The oatmeal will be perfectly cooked when you wake up.

2 1/2 cups water
1 cup old fashioned oats
1/4 teaspoon salt
Lightly grease the bottom and sides of the crock pot.
Combine the water, oats, and salt in the crock pot and gently stir to mix.
Cover the crock pot and cook on low heat for 8 hours.
Serve hot with any desired toppings.
Some crock pots cook very "hot" - either shorten the cooking time or cook on the warm setting if needed.

Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.
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.

Old fashioned oats not the quick cooking stuff. Overnight = 6 hours max.
