Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

30-60 minutes
ingredients
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 cup finely chopped onion
1 carrot, finely chopped
1/2 green bell pepper, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 can (15 ounce size) diced tomatoes
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup Merlot or other full-bodied red wine
1/4 cup water
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh basil
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh oregano
2 teaspoons finely chopped fresh thyme
1/2 teaspoon packed brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt, or to taste
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground pepper or to taste
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes or to taste
fresh basil, oregano or thyme for garnish
directions
Heat the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot and bell pepper and cook until the carrot is almost tender, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and stir constantly for about 1 minute.
Stir in the remaining ingredients, except the fresh basil, if using. When the mixture comes to a simmer, reduce the heat to low. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally for 10 minutes.
Uncover and continue to cook, stirring occasionally until the sauce thickens and is reduced to 2 1/2 cups, about 8 to 10 minutes. Add fresh basil, if using, during the last 5 minutes.
Taste and adjust the seasoning. Garnish each serving with a fresh herb sprig.

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.
This iconic whiskey is a "Jack of all trades" when it comes to cooking. Toss it in some pasta, as a savory dipping sauce, and even bake it into something sweet.
