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.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

reviews & comments
Very mushy with little taste. Pasta should go in about an hour before serving.
The pasta should not be added to the crockpot, the sauce is served over the pasta.
