Substitute for onion soup mix: any grill seasoning that you like.

does anyone have any idea what I can use instead of onion soup mix... my husband is very allergic to onion even in dried or processed form. :/

Just great. First time I've cooked meat in the microwave and I was VERY pleasantly surprised at how good it was!

Didn't have quick oats so I had to use old-fashioned...no problem!

Was out of ketchup so I used cocktail sauce! Might do that permanently! The horseradish in it is great with meatloaf!

Used extremely lean ground turkey and there wasn't any grease left in the bottom...so nice...

Didn't trust my mugs in the microwave so I just made it in a one-cup pyrex measuring cup. Didn't look as great but it worked perfectly.

Didn't have onion soup mix so I used grill seasoning which worked well.

Think I'll quadruple this recipe and cook one mug while I line 3 other mugs with plastic wrap and freeze them. When frozen I'll bag them up and save them for a rainy day!
