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.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

I thought this was a pretty good recipe. I only had one pound of ribs - otherwise I followed the recipe as stated. It turned out a tad on the sweet side, but I used Splenda Brown Sugar Blend which may account for the extra sweetness. The instructions did not say to drain and rinse the kraut, but I did, otherwise I think it may have been too 'kraut-y'for us. The mushrooms got lost in the mix, however - couldn't taste them at all. I will make this again, but I will add some butter to off-set the sweetness a bit, and I won't add the mushrooms. Over all a quick, easy, and tasty recipe.
