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.

Want a quick but delicious side dish? This dish consists of fresh cooked carrots tossed with a sweet homemade orange sauce.

10 medium carrots
2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup orange juice
1/4 cup butter
Peel the carrots if desired. Slice the carrots or leave whole if they are small.
Bring a pan of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Add the carrots and cook until tender. Drain well. Place the warm carrots in a heat-proof serving bowl.
Stir together the brown sugar, cornstarch, ginger, and salt in a saucepan. Whisk in the orange juice and cook over medium-high heat for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Add the butter and cook, stirring constantly, for 1-2 minutes or until the sauce has thickened.
Pour the orange sauce over the carrots and toss to coat them in the sauce. Serve immediately.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Love the spinach dip at restaurants like TGIFriday's and the Olive Garden? Make it at home with these easy-to-follow copycat recipes.
