Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
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 has a ton of flavor and is wonderful! Made it for my family tonight. That said, this is not risotto. Risotto is made by adding stock to the rice slowly, stirring after each addition, thus coaxing the starch out of the grains. This is what gives risotto its signature creaminess. It does not need butter or cream.
