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

My family loved this sauce. I used it with a sweet potato, kale ravioli purchased from Costco. I, too, added the Grand Marnier at the end. My husband said it was definitely restaurant quality taste. A word of caution, though - be careful when adding the parmesan as it will bubble up and overflow. This recipe is a keeper.

I used a little less orange juice (3/4 cup) because it seemed like it might be overwhelming otherwise and replaced it with cream (basically switched the orange juice and cream amounts). I took the suggestion by AGIRARD and added grand marnier in at the end! That was delightful!

Add sliced green onions and dried tomatoes at the very beginning in the melted butter. At the end, add fresh garlic and a spoonfull of Cognac or Grand Marnier or Cointreau while hot 5 minutes before serving. Incredible!
