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.

Cream cheese and cheddar, combined with diced veggies and rolled in chopped walnuts or pecans makes a cheese ball that's almost as fun to make as it is to eat.

ingredients
2 packages (8 ounce size) cream cheese, at room temperature
2 cups freshly grated Cheddar cheese, at room temperature
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon finely chopped green bell pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped pimento
1 tablespoon finely chopped onion
1 dash cayenne pepper
salt, to taste
1/2 cup finely chopped nuts (pecans, walnuts, etc)
directions
Combine the cream cheese, cheddar cheese, Worcestershire sauce, bell pepper, pimento, onion, cayenne, and salt in a mixing bowl. Beat on medium speed with an electric mixer until combined.
Scrape the cheese mixture out onto a sheet of plastic wrap. Roll the wrap around the cheese to form the cheese into a ball.
Place the chopped nuts on a plate and roll the cheese ball in the nuts to coat completely.
Wrap the cheese ball in a clean sheet of plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator for 4-5 hours or until firm.
Serve the cheese ball with crackers.

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 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.
