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 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!
