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.

What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

A good Italian-Mexican fusion dish with some zing to it. The recipe didn't say to slice the olives, so I didn't. But you should at least cut them in halves, I would say. I used Hormel tamales, but am not sure if I could distinctly taste them. But overall this was filling and excellent!

Wonderful and simple. For hungry groups use two packs of tamales.
