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.

ingredients
1/2 pound lean ground beef

Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a casserole dish.
Heat a skillet over medium heat. Add the ground beef and oil and cook, stirring, until the beef is crumbled and no longer pink.

Not impressed with this recipe. Flavor was good but casserole was dry and fell apart. Next time I will boil the chayote first and add an egg or chicken broth and bread crumbs to bind it together
This isn't really a casserole that you can slice, it's definitely a looser consistency. Report back if you modify it next time to change the consistency to your liking and let us know how it works out for you so others can benefit from your suggestion.
