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.

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 can (8 ounce size) pineapple tidbits, undrained
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 can (16 ounce size) sliced beets, drained
Mix together the sugar, cornstarch, and salt in a saucepan. Place the pan over medium-high heat. Stir in the undrained pineapple. Cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce has thickened.
Add the butter, lemon juice, and sliced beets. Reduce the heat to medium. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes.
Serve hot.

Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.

Loved the simplicity of this recipe. The result was flavorful without being too sweet.
