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.

The name, vodka, comes from the Russian phrase zhiznennaia voda, or "water of life". It can be made from everything from potatoes to beets. It's considered to be fairly flavorless which makes it a great liquor for mixed drinks.
What's the secret ingredient in these cakes? Pudding mix. It not only adds flavor but it gives the cake a richer, creamier texture. No one will know your secret ingredient!

This is a staple recipe in my house. I make a huge pot of it, and even my non-bean eaters gobble it down. I'm a vegetarian, so I use vegetable broth instead. I also bring this to potlucks and get positive feedback... great recipe, simple and hearty!
