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.

This is a French recipe called pate brisee a l'huile (flaky pastry with oil). It's ideal for savory pies or quiches, or anywhere you want a less sweet crust.

6 tablespoons oil (canola, sunflower, etc)
6 tablespoons lukewarm water
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 cup flour
Whisk together the oil and warm water until it becomes a creamy mixture.
Stir in the salt. Stir in the flour, 1/2 cup at a time, mixing quickly to combine. Do not over mix the dough.
When enough flour has been added to form a smooth dough, form it into a ball and lightly dust it with flour. Cover with plastic wrap and let rest in the refrigerator for 1-2 hours.
Lightly flour a work surface. Roll the dough out into a 1/4-inch thick circle.
Grease a pie pan and fit the dough into the pan. If desired, flute the edges. Use in any recipe calling for an unbaked pie crust.

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.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
