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.

This copycat creamed spinach recipe is the perfect side dish for a Sunday dinner or special occasion. It's creamy and flavorful without being overly rich and heavy.

1 pound raw spinach leaves, tough stems removed
2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoon flour
3/4 cup milk
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon white pepper
Rinse the spinach but do not dry it. Place in a skillet with a lid over medium heat. Cook, until the spinach has wilted and the water evaporated (2-3 minutes).
Remove the spinach from the skillet and coarsely chop it.
Add the butter to another skillet over medium heat. When melted, slowly stir in the flour and cook, stirring constantly, until it is smooth.
While stirring, slowly add the milk. Cook, stirring constantly, until the sauce has thickened.
Add the spinach to the milk mixture. Stir well then add the sugar, salt, and pepper. Heat through and serve immediately.

A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.
