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.

directions
Tear bread into small pieces and soak in a large mixing bowl with milk while you prepare rest of the loaf.
In a small skillet, melt butter, then saute mushrooms, onions and garlic until soft, about 3 minutes. Let cool.
With your hands, mix the saute mixture and meat into bread mixture. Add eggs, ketchup, Worcestershire sauce, salt, marjoram, thyme and pepper. Mix by hand in a circular motion.
Form into a free-form 9" x 5" loaf. Drape with bacon and place on greased rack on broiler pan. Bake at 375 degrees F for 1-1/4 hour or until brown and meat is cooked. Internal temperature should be 160 degrees F. Lift off rack and keep warm while making gravy.
For Sour Cream Gravy: Pour 1/4 cup of pan drippings into a small saucepan. Stir flour into drippings until smooth. Cook, stirring over medium heat for 3 minutes. Gradually stir in stock or water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and cook until thickened.
Stir in sour cream and heat through but do not boil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Transfer to a heated sauce boat and sprinkle with parsley.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
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.
reviews & comments
1 1/3 eggs? How do you measure that?
It looks like the person who submitted the recipe "scaled" it from its original serving size. Just use one extra large egg or 1 large egg and some additional liquid if needed.
