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 is something that I used when my children were young, hubby was unemployed and money was tight. This soup made a pound of hot dogs go 2 to 3 meals and tastes great too!
