Crack open a can for dinner tonight!
After feeding a ranch full of kids and cowboys for years, no one knows cooking shortcuts better than Ree Drummond. "I swear, gone are the days when I can spend two or three hours making dinner," she once pined. Knowing how to doctor up a cake mix or popping open several cans of beans to get food on the table faster is something she has relied on over the years when life gets hectic. And ranch or no ranch, we can all relate to having a busy life, right?
Perhaps one of the best not-so-secret kitchen hacks of them all is a can of condensed cream of mushroom soup. Go ahead, look in your pantry―we bet you have at least one. Great, crack it open, because we're about to put dinner on the table lickety-split! You'll find that so many classic casseroles, easy slow cooker meals, and 30-minute meals are secretly cream of mushroom recipes. And if you can't think of one off the top of your head, don't worry! We've found the best of them right here for you, beginning with the only casserole Ladd Drummond loves.
It's also worth noting that a can of cream of mushroom can be your secret weapon when the holidays roll around, so keep this list handy. You can cut your prep time down significantly when making classics like green bean casserole for Thanksgiving, so make sure you stock up and save your patience for something else!
