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.
Short Ribs Braised In Pinot Noir

You can use pinot noir, or your favorite red wine, in this short rib recipe. We used a spicy habanero pepper cabernet which added a mild wine flavor but a little extra spicy zest to it! If you'd prefer to skip the wine, use a rich beef broth instead.

ingredients
2 tablespoons canola oil, divided
3 tablespoons butter, divided
6 beef short ribs, about 14 ounces each
1 teaspoon salt, divided
freshly ground black pepper
1 onion, roughly chopped
1 carrot, roughly chopped
1 stalk celery, roughly chopped
4 cloves garlic, crushed
1 bottle (750 ml size) pinot noir or other medium-bodied red wine
3 sprigs fresh thyme
3 sprigs fresh parsley
1 bay leaf
1/2 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley
directions
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add half of the oil and 1 tablespoon of the butter.
Season the ribs with half the salt and with the pepper (as desired). Add the ribs to the Dutch oven in batches, turning to brown on all sides (about 3 minutes per side). Remove the ribs with tongs or a slotted spoon and set aside on a platter.
Add the remaining oil and 1 tablespoon butter to the Dutch oven. Reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion, carrot, celery, garlic, and remaining salt. Cook over medium heat, stirring, until the onions are soft and begin to caramelize (about 10 minutes).
Stir the wine, thyme, parsley sprigs, and bay leaf into the onion mixture. Bring to a boil then add the ribs. Cover.
Transfer the pan to the oven. Cook, covered, for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Turn the ribs every 30 minutes. The ribs are done when the meat is very tender and falling off the bone.
Remove the ribs to a platter and set aside.
Strain the vegetables and liquid through a fine-mesh strainer into a large bowl, pressing down to extract as much liquid as possible. Skim any fat that floats to the top of the strained liquid.
Discard the solids and return the liquid to the Dutch oven. Bring the liquid to a boil then add the remaining butter, stirring to mix it.
Return the ribs to the pan along with half the chopped parsley. Let cook for about 5 minutes just to reheat the ribs and coat them in the buttery sauce. Serve the ribs garnished with the remaining parsley.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.

These were absolutely terrific! The meat just fell from the bone, and the red wine helped to flavor the ribs and create a delicious sauce. A must-try!
