9 Cozy Dishes Made with French Onion Soup Mix
Lipton French onion soup mix has been a pantry staple for decades, and it’s an easy way to add big flavor to comfort food favorites. Browse this collection of casseroles, slow cooker meals, baked dishes, and more for plenty of dinner inspiration.
If you peek into my pantry, you’ll almost always find a box of Lipton French Onion Soup Mix tucked in there.
Sure, it makes a great sour cream dip for chips (I love that dip—recipe is below!) but its real magic happens at dinnertime. The packet is a secret weapon for building deep, slow-cooked flavor without spending hours at the stove.
I’ve stirred french onion soup mix into ground beef to create juicy burgers, tossed it with potatoes for a crispy, savory side dish, and used it to create the most comforting gravies for stews and casseroles.
These right here are the no-fuss, cozy meals that someone’s mom or grandma always had in her rotation (maybe it was yours, too!).
Slow Cooker Meals
Beef Stew with Onion Soup Mix
This stew tastes like you’ve been cooking it all day. And you have, but the crockpot has done all the work!
Cube Steak with Gravy
My friend Jennifer’s family favorite, made by her mom for decades. (This is on Jennifer’s site, Plowing Through Life.)
Country Style Ribs with Gravy
Just four ingredients, seriously easy, and melt-in-your-mouth tender. (Another favorite from Jennifer.)
Oven Baked Classics
Pork Chop Casserole
When I need a hearty, meat-and-potatoes meal with minimal prep, this is the recipe I reach for.
Easy No Peek Chicken
No peeking while it cooks! The chicken is perfectly tender, and the crispy edges where the rice meets the pan are my absolute favorite part.
Macaroni and Ground Beef Casserole
Similar to goulash, but the onion soup mix adds a bold savory flavor. This is from my friend Carlee’s site, Cooking with Carlee.
For the Grill
French Onion Soup Burgers
A simple way to transform burgers into something special. They’re really juicy, too!
Side Dishes
French Onion Soup Potatoes
My mom cut this recipe right off the Lipton soup mix box back in the ’80s, and it’s been a staple ever since. The potatoes get so crispy!
Baked Rice with Mushrooms
Easy and flavorful—perfect for mushrooms fans. I love the idea to serve the rice with steak or beef roast. (This is also from Carlee’s site.)
