Open in Pepper →That little envelope of dried onion and beef bouillon seasons a whole pan of potatoes, a skillet of ground beef, or a pot of meatballs without you chopping a thing. It's the shortcut that still tastes like you stood at the stove.
Cooks on Pepper reach for these on the nights when there's no plan, just chicken in the fridge and potatoes in the pantry, or when somebody's coming over and a bowl of dip needs to hit the table in five minutes.
Every recipe here leans on that packet: French Onion Potatoes, Onion Soup Chicken Bake, French Onion Chicken and Rice, Lipton Onion Beef & Potato Skillet, Slow Cooker Pork Tenderloin with Ranch and Onion Soup Mix, Lipton Onion Meatballs, plus a homemade copycat onion soup mix and two onion dips.
Mix your own packet
Dried minced onion, celery seed and beef bouillon powder make a copycat blend; about 4 tablespoons equals one store packet.
Hold back the salt
One packet already carries plenty of sodium, so taste before adding any salt to the broth, rice or potatoes.
Toss potatoes in butter
Melt a full stick and coat the slices before the seasoning goes on, so the mix sticks instead of sitting in the pan.
Let the dip rest
Stir the packet into sour cream or cottage cheese and chill at least 30 minutes so the dried onion softens up.
