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.

Take rice pudding to the next level. Cocoa powder gives this slow cooked recipe just the right amount of chocolate flavor and a pinch of cinnamon spices things up.

4 cups cooked white rice
3/4 cup sugar
1/4 cup baking cocoa
3 tablespoons margarine or butter, melted
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 pinch ground cinnamon
2 cans (12 ounce size) evaporated milk
whipped cream or shaved chocolate, for garnish, if desired
Grease the bottom and sides of the crock pot.
In a bowl, combine all the ingredients until well mixed. Pour into the greased crock pot.
Cover the crock pot and cook on high heat for 2-3 hours or until all the liquid is absorbed.
Stir the rice pudding before serving. Serve warm or cold, garnished with whipped cream or chocolate shavings, if desired.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
