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.

Broccoli mac' n cheese isn't just a way to make a decadent dish healthier by sneaking in a cruciferous green, it's also a killer flavor combo. A cheesy duo of cheddar and swiss makes this a magnificent mac.

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.
This Italian cheese is so versatile that it can be used in both sweet and savory recipes from cheesecakes to lasagnas.

I omitted the dry mustard because I didn't have any but otherwise followed the recipe exactly and it turned out very good. I liked the combination of cheeses.
