Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

A can of tomato soup makes this Italian-style ground beef and noodle casserole easy to prepare.

1 pound ground beef
1/3 cup chopped onion
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup canned tomato soup
1/3 cup water
2 cups noodles, cooked al dente
1 cup shredded cheese (Cheddar or Monterey Jack are favorites)
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the ground beef and onion and cook, stirring frequently, until the beef is cooked and the onion is soft. Drain off any excess grease.
Stir the oregano, salt, soup, water, and noodles into the skillet. Mix well.
Pour the ground beef mixture into a 1 1/2 quart casserole dish. Sprinkle the cheese evenly over the top.
Place the casserole in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes or until the cheese is melted and the noodles are tender.
Serve hot.

This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.
