Nutritional data has not been calculated yet.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.
Not to be confused with evaporated milk, sweetened condensed milk is very sweet (and very sticky) and used primarily in desserts.

This is really good. The only mods I made were to use Half and Half instead of Cream and Parsley instead of Tarragon because we don't like Tarragon at our house.
