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 these and loved them. It made 72 or so balls using the recipe as it reads to serve 24. You might want to put how many 1 inch balls it makes instead of how many people it serves because I did not know how many balls were assigned to each serving when it reads serves 24. But they were delicious and I will definitely make again next Christmas.
