7 Dinner Recipes That Use Ranch Seasoning Packets, Gravy Mix, Lipton Onion Soup Mix and More

Do you have an ever growing stash of seasoning packets like Ranch Seasoning Packets, gravy mix, saison, Au Jus, and Lipton Soup Mix? I feel you, each week I use my FREE Stick to Your Budget Checklist to shop my pantry, fridge, and freezer and make a meal plan, but unfortunately, these packets kept getting overlooked! To help us all out, I’ve put together a list of 7 recipes that will put this overstock to good use!
