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.

This recipe has been in my family since I was a child. I'm 77. Could you tell me where you got this recipe? It may be a relative. The original recipe only calls for 1 tsp of red food coloring. I suspect it refers to the red soil in Okla. as that is where my mother and grandmother found the recipe. I hope you respond as we might be related. Ancient cook
