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.
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.

My batch didn't taste like I thought it would, but it was still good. Perhaps I will try a bit of salt in the recipe next time.
I think the temperature on this recipe is off. I had a tough time getting it up to 244 degrees and used two different candy thermometers. I ended up with a tasty hard caramel that is going to be hard to eat.
