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.

Famous Dave's is a Midwest restaurant chain specializing in barbecue but they also make a killer pecan pie.

1/3 cup melted butter
2/3 cup sugar
1 cup dark corn syrup
3 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup whole pecans
1 (9-inch size) deep dish pie shell, frozen
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Combine the melted butter, sugar, corn syrup, eggs, vanilla, and salt in a mixing bowl. Beat on low speed with an electric mixer until completely combined.
Stir in the pecans by hand.
Place the frozen pie shell on a rimmed baking sheet. Pour the pecan filling into the shell. Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake at 350 degrees F for 20 minutes. Rotate the pie 90 degrees and bake for 20-25 more minutes.
Remove the pie from the oven and let cool to room temperature before serving. The pie will firm up as it cools.

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.
Pizza night is always a favorite, especially when you have great tasting pizza from some of the most popular restaurants.
