Great ideas!  I can use them up in hamburgers, meatloaf  etc.

Don't use much salad dressing because I am the only one who eats salads willingly in the house.    They are the clubhouse brand packs.  I have two to use.

 One of our go-to crockpot recipes is a package of chicken parts (breasts or thighs, whichever you have), a package of onion soup mix, and enough orange juice (yes, orange juice) to cover it all. We leave it on for about 5 hours on low, and it's fantastic.

great crock pot recipe:

beef stew meat;

spread one can cream of mushroom soup over this;

sprinkle pkg onion soup mix over this;

then pour a 12 oz can of ginger ale over all.  Let simmer all day and serve over rice or noodles.  Yum!!

I mix a packet of soup/dip mix with a 16 oz tub of sour cream, then in chopped, cooked chicken or turkey.  This is a different version of chicken salad.

Another idea that I've never done myself but have eaten and thought it was good:

People often use these dips with those oyster cracker things (or some people use saltine crackers, whichever)..... I think all they do is coat the crackers a little with oil and then toss them in the soup mix..... and then bake them in the oven. Makes for a great party snack. I don't drink but I would think it'd go well with beer for New Years?

And, as others have said, I also use the dip/soup mixes in my hamburger when making patties. I woudln't think there would be a difference between teh french onion dip and the onion soup mix..... I would think that whatever you would use one for that you could use the other. 

Have a blesesd day,

 I use the Ranch dip mix to make the oyster crackers and we love it.

I will be using the French onion soup mix in my meatballs for Christmas day.

Barbecue Meatballs

2 lb ground beef

1 egg

1 cup cracker crumbs

1 pkg dry onion soup mix

Sauce

1 oz grape jelly

2 sm or 1 lg bottle tangy ketchup (I use chili sauce, my mom uses cocktail sauce)

1/2 cup brown sugar

Mix ground beef, egg, cracker crumbs, and dry soup mix.  Form into balls and brown.  Put in crock pot.

Mix sauce toether.  Pour over meatballs. Cook 4 hours on low or 2 hours on high.

Cocktail wieners or small smoky links may be used in place of meatballs.
