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.
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.

I made this recipe many times in the 70's...it is so impressive and delicious. I'm making it for my birthday tommorrow..40 years later.
I served this cake back in 1964. It was one of my husbands favorites. My recipe was in pieces so I decided to check the internet and lo and behold there it was. Try it, it looks good and tastes great. Dol
