A can of cream of mushroom soup can be a real dinner saver. It works great in casseroles and can turn into a sauce or gravy in a pinch.

Sauce was great! Like a precious review, made 3x the sauce but doubling would have been fine too. Our steaks seemed a bit thin so we cooked in the sauce for only 10 minutes. We also salted and peppered the meat before adding it to the oil and I substituted chili powder for the pepper flakes for my own personal preference. Overall this recipe was great!

Very good with a nice amount of kick to it. I made it with bone-in pork chops instead of cutlets so I had to adjust the cooking time but the flavor was still outstanding.
