Due to a crazy store sale where I was able to get loads of Campbells cream of chicken and cream of mushroom soup for 25 cents a can, I just realized IO only have Tuna Noodle Cassarole and Chicken and Rice as recipes that use these. Anyone have any good recipes that utilize cream of chicken and/or cream of mushroom soups? Thanks!

A number of crockpot recipes use them. If you don't care about doing a specific one, you can just go with the "dump" method -- random hunk o'meat (nothing ground), spices, cover with one or both cream soups, high for 3-4 hours (depending on volume) or medium for 6ish.

e.g., One I just did today: I had a one of those cheap 10lb bags of chicken leg quarters. Tossed them into a 6-qt crockpot with a green pepper, an onion (tater chunks and carrots also work), and spices to taste. Then, a quart of cream of chicken. If it's not enough liquid, add another can of soup or add water -- you wanna cover the meat. High for 3.5 hours usually does it, tho it's a good idea to open one up once the time has expired, and put them back for another 30-40 minutes if they're not cooked all the way through. As usual with a crockpot, don't open the lid until the time is done. I eat some of the chicken straight (it was falling off the bone, mmmmmm), I save some to toss into a big hearty batch of chicken nooodle soup, some for sammiches maybe. All for $6 for the meat and 2-4 more for the veggies and spices.

Tortilla casserole: Ingredients: 3 large tortillas, 2 cooked and shredded chicken breast(you can use beef or turkey as well) 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1 can of cream of celery soup, 1 can of milk, 1 small onion chopped, 1/2 cup of salsa, shredded cheese and one small can of ortaga chillies.

Preheat oven to 325, make a sauce by combining the cream of mushroom and celery soup, 1 can of milk(measure using the soup can, the ortagas, salsa and onion, shred the tortillas, put half in the bottom of a large casserole dish, add half of the chicken, then pour half the sauce on top, then cover with cheese, repeat for the second layer, bake for about 45 minuets you can tell its done when the cheese on top is melted and slightly browned. You can supstitute cream of chicken for the cream of celery.

Use a can of Cream of Mushroom in stroganoff. Slice beef thin, across the grain. Toss with a couple of tablespoons of all purpose flour (you can use arrowroot powder or cornstarch if you prefer or need to avoid gluten- reduce the amount used to one to two teaspoons). Season with ground black pepper and onion. I use powder. You can use dried minced or chopped or fresh. Cook fresh onions before adding beef. Brown in a hot skillet with a bit of olive oil, vegetable oil or bacon grease. Add one can of beef broth and one can of cream of mushroom soup. Mix well, and let it simmer uncovered for 30 minutes to an hour (it's really forgiving, the longer you simmer it the thicker your sauce will wind up). While the sauce is simmering, cook and drain egg noodles. Add one to two cups of sour cream (to taste) at the end of cooking and remove from heat. Add the noodles to the sauce about 5 minutes before serving.

I've also gotten pretty good results doing a casserole style dish with sliced potatoes, cheese, chicken and your preference of soup. Bake at 350 for about an hour.

This one's a two-fer and is one of my family's favorites

Soy Sauce Casserole

1 lb. hamburger
2 med onions, chopped (or one large one)
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 can cream of chicken soup
1/2 t pepper
1T soy sauce
1/2 c uncooked rice
1 1/2 c warm water

Brown the hamburger, drain fat. Combine all ingredients with meat in a large casserole dish and cover. Cook at 350 F for 30 minutes. Uncover, stir and cook for an additional 30 minutes uncovered.

To increase the size of the casserole, add an extra can of cream of mushroom, increase the rice to 3/4 c and increase the water to 2 1/4 c.

I like pork chops with mushroom sauce. Brown pork chops, put in baking dish, cover with cream of mushroom and a bit of milk, bake for about an hour at 350. Sauce is great on rice. You could also do this with chicken and the cream of chicken, I would expect.

Cream of mushroom can also be used for a pseudo-stroganoff. Brown 1 lb. ground beef, mix with one can cream of mushroom and 8oz sour cream. I add some garlic as well.

Seanette's recipe is a good one too. You can also do it with chicken and either soup. Our family does a slight variation where we add 1/2 c rice and 1/2 to 3/4 can of water directly to the soup, then place the pork chops or chicken in the soup/rice mix and bake.

One thing you can do too, is make the soup according to the can directions except cut back on the water a little. Then add 1/2 c sour cream to the soups--they make a good gravy for rice this way.

I like this idea. Seems more efficient than doing a separate batch of rice. I assume you use regular long-grain and not instant?

correct . Also, if you want more rice just add it and increase the water accordingly. Like, you could probably add a cup of rice plus a whole can of water and still be ok. You can also use milk instead of water to make it creamier.

Thanks guys! You've been super helpful. Pretty sure the kids are going to dive into that tater tot casserole lol.

*considers* I might make rice and pork and use it as a sauce, freshened up with some pan fried onions and garlic. Maybe some nutmeg too, that goes well with pork.

I wonder... I've used Classico alfredo sauce to make a creamy poutine before. I wonder if a very thick version of cream of mushroom soup would work as a gravy for poutine? I could see it being delicious.
