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 oven-baked cheesy pasta dish is so comforting and delicious, you'll never want to go back to regular mac and cheese again.

1/2 cup small elbow macaroni
1 1/2 cup milk
6 ounces American cheese, shredded
3 tablespoons butter
3 egg yolks, beaten
1 cup soft bread crumbs
1/4 cup chopped canned pimiento
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
1 tablespoon grated onion
3 egg whites
1/4 teaspoon cream of tartar
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees F.
Cook the pasta in boiling water as directed on the package. Drain well.
Combine the milk, American cheese, and butter in a large saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring frequently, until the cheese has melted.
Place the beaten egg yolks in a heat-proof bowl. Take about 1/4 cup of the hot cheese sauce and stir it quickly into the eggs, mixing until incorporated. Add the egg mixture to the cheese sauce. Mix well then remove the pan from the heat.
Add the cooked pasta, bread crumbs, pimiento, parsley, and onion to the cheese sauce. Mix well then set aside.
In a mixing bowl, beat the egg whites and cream of tartar with an electric mixer until stiff peaks form. Fold the egg whites into the pasta mixture gently. Do not overmix.
Transfer the macaroni and cheese to a 1 1/2 quart baking dish or souffle dish. Place in the oven and bake at 325 degrees F for one hour or until set in the middle.
Serve hot.

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!
