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.

These were fantastic and so easy! I didn't have marshmallow cream on hand, so I just mixed some heavy cream in instead since it really didn't call for much. Delish!

Very simple recipe for sweet potatoes. I added pecans to the top before topping off with the marshmallows. I didn't have the mini ones, just used the large ones - and it didn't seem to make a difference. I think the next time I prepare I will try adding the pecans to the margarine / brown sugar in the skillet to see if I can tell the difference. This sweet potato recipe is simple to prepare and will be fabulous to serve as part of a Thanksgiving meal.
