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.

You actually don't need a grill to make a fall-off-the-bone rack of ribs. For days where going outside to the deck is unthinkable, these oven-baked ribs with plenty of sauce are an absolute treat.

ingredients
6 pounds baby back ribs
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1/4 cup dark brown sugar
Sauce
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup peeled and minced Vidalia onions
2 cloves fresh garlic, crushed, peeled, minced
1 1/2 cup ketchup
1/2 cup beef or chicken broth (or water)
1/2 cup dark brown sugar
1/2 cup apple cider vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon honey or cane or maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon chili powder (optional)
1 teaspoon prepared yellow mustard
1 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/8 teaspoon black pepper (to taste)
directions
Sauce can be prepared several days in advance.
Warm butter in a saucepan over low heat. Add onion. Saute until tender, but NOT brown. Stir in garlic. Add rest of ingredients and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer about 45 minutes or until sauce is thickened. *
Ribs: Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
Cut ribs into individual serving pieces. Toss with vinegar and sprinkle with brown sugar. Place in foil and wrap tightly. Place on a rack in a roasting pan; fill bottom of roasting pan with water up to 1/2 inch deep. Cover roaster and place it in preheated oven and bake for 1 1/2 hours. Add water as needed to the bottom of the roaster. Keep 1/2-inch deep. Remove roaster from oven. Drain off water. Unwrap ribs and place them in the bottom of the roaster. Pour sauce over ribs. Cover roaster, return to oven and bake 25-35 minutes more, or until the ribs are tender and darkening around the edges, but not burned. Remove from oven and serve.
Serve with Louisiana hot sauce on table to add to individual taste.
cook's notes
If you are short on time, you can thicken the sauce with a bit more butter or add 1 Tbsp. corn starch dissolved in a little water and stirred in briskly until thickened over medium-low heat. This works with spaghetti sauce also.

Ranking #1 in nearly every "favorite cookie" poll, the chocolate chip cookie is pretty much the go-to cookie of choice for both kids and grownups alike.
Pumpkins aren't just for pies or Halloween decorations. These large, orange gourds - while naturally sweet - also work well in savory dishes. They pair well with poultry and pork (and especially bacon) and their creamy-when-cooked texture blends easily into soups.

This recipe is amazing. I have shared it with my girls at work and it always turns out perfect. Just don't use a really sweet barbeque sauce (like Jack Daniels). We use KC masterpiece and it turns out perfect every time.
