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!
Keeping a can of frozen orange juice concentrate in the freezer means you can make more than just orange juice. Try it in a variety of orange-flavored recipes.

This bread was tasty. I did almost double the honey. I also had to add way more flour just to get it not sticky. Nice and dense. Good with butter and honey. Mixed it in my food processor using the dough attachment. Clean up was difficult. Made the dough the night before and stored in the fridge. Put it out in the morning before work and set the timer to start mid afternoon. The house smelled wonderful when I got home.
If you doubled the honey then I'm not surprised it was sticky and needed more flour.

The last time I made this we ate it all in one meal. I also added a little more honey. Turned out beautifully.

This turned out well but sank in the middle I think because it cooled too fast. Will try again.

Made this in my round crock as CD Kitchen suggested. It ended up with a pretty good loaf of bread but as was also suggested it didn't have much honey flavor, possibly because the bread is steamed while it cooks. The texture of the bread was nice though.

I saw someone on another website make a comment about this recipe. They didn't have good luck with it. So, I decided to see if it was the recipe, the cook, or the appliance that was to blame. I tested this recipes in TWO slow cookers: one oval one that tends to overcook a lot of foods (you know which brand I'm talking about!) and one round model that heats like a slow cooker should. Both are 6 qt size. The oval unit did not cook the bread evenly. Because this unit starts out too hot the bread rose unevenly. The bottom was burned and the middle was undercooked. The round (properly heating) unit made a very nice loaf of bread. It was evenly cooked and rose uniformly. So it may have been the cook, it really didn't seem to be the recipe, but it was definitely the appliance that contributed to the other review's bad luck. Now, why only 4 stars? It lacked just a little flavor for my preference. I was hoping for more of a honey-ish flavor. This recipe really was easy though. I mixed it in my kitchenaid mixer, put it in the crockpot and 3 hours later we had bread. There was no kneading, no rising - just simplicity!
