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.


Just like with everything else, scratch-made is gonna beat store-bought any day. Use this recipe anywhere calling for Miracle Whip salad dressing.


4 egg yolks
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons sugar
6 tablespoons vinegar or lemon juice
3 cups salad oil
2 teaspoons dry mustard
1 tablespoon salt
3 tablespoons flour or cornstarch
1 cup boiling water
Combine the egg yolks, salt, sugar, and 2 tablespoons of the vinegar (or lemon juice) in a blender. Process for 10 seconds.
VERY slowly add 1 cup of the salad oil through the feeder hole in a very thin stream while the blender is running. Add the remaining oil slowly, making sure it's getting fully incorporated as you add it.
Add the remaining vinegar or lemon juice and blend until smooth.
Combine the dry mustard, salt, and flour in a saucepan. Mix well. Place over medium heat. Slowly stir in the boiling water and mix until smooth. Cook, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens to a smooth paste.
Combine the flour mixture with the egg yolk mixture and quickly blend to combine.
Transfer to an airtight container and chill before using. Store in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.

This is a lot of work to basically make mayonnaise. However, it does taste pretty close I thought to real miracle whip. I think I'll stick with my regular mayo recipe though unless I have something that absolutely uses miracle whip instead.
