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.
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
reviews & comments
This is a very old recipe that I have been making for years. It's delicious and fudgy and best served warm. There are a couple of typos in this version. The pan for this amount of batter should be a 9x13 cake pan. If you want to use a 9" square pan, cut all the ingredients in half. The salt should be 1/2 teaspoon and not 2 teaspoons.
I am baking the Fudge Upside-Down Cake now. I returned to my computer to check the recipe for a 3rd time. This was too much ingredient for an 8x8 pan. 2 1/2 cups of boiling water would have ran over, so I had to only use a portion of that. It is now cooking and bubbling out of the dish. I think it may be a lost cause?!?
