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 for our Halloween party and the whole crock pot was full. In an hour, it was gone. My friends have asked me to make it again for Thanksgiving. I gave the recipe to a friend who was hosting a card game at her house and her guests loved it as well. It is so tasty and makes your house smell incredible!
