This recipe was a favorite when I was a child; my older sister made it. When she passed away, the recipe was nowhere to be found. As an adult, I tried to duplicate it to no avail. Then, years later, my aunt found some recipes my sister had given her years before. Read more ......and there it was! It's my comfort food. Ingredients:

one envelope lipton onion soup mix |
one cup of water |
spices to taste - diced garlic, hot sauce, your choice |
shredded cheddar cheese - at least 1/2 cup |
