Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
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.

A yummy and super fast fruit dessert. You can use other liquors too ... Grand Marnier for one. I add a dollop of sweet whipped cream atop each serving and its really tasty.
