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.
Tomato Vegetable Sauce

- #128186
This is an easy, all purpose red sauce that can be used as a pasta or pizza sauce. You can also use it in any recipe calling for canned tomato sauce - it's that versatile! Plus it has extra vitamins from the secret ingredient (carrots!) in it so it's a healthier option. It goes great in either vegetarian or meaty lasagna recipes, and makes a simple spaghetti sauce as is or add some browned meat to make a heartier meal.

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.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
