Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
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.

Very easy to make. It's cooking now. But directions forgot to tell you when to add milk. It should be after you have add flour. Smells delicious I did sneak a tortellini before I put it in oven. Tasted great!
