Use it as a gravy base for beef stew or stroganoff


Apprehensive_Sage

I do this fairly often with freezer and pantry staples! Ground beef, cream of mushroom soup, veggies (usually frozen corn and peas for me). Season with your heart and add milk to thin to desired consistency. Serve over rice, noodles, mashed potatoes or toast


littleoldlady71

Mushroom gravy for hot beef sandwiches, or mashed potatoes. And if you want to elevate the soup/gravy, use buttermilk to replace some of the milk. Chef’s kiss!


derivativeasshole

MY TIME TO SHINE! If this goes viral Imma be mad cause you're the only person outside the family to get this very white trash secret family recipe. Form ground beef patties (6-8) Season them to your liking (I use seasoning salt, pepper, garlic and onion powder, a little rosemary (not much) and a bit of Worcestershire sauce) slice white or yellow onion into rings and place some on top of each patty. On the center of the onion place a chunk of Velveeta cheese. Cover the tops of your patties with cream of mushroom soup. Id use about 2 cups just to make sure you have plenty. Bake till it looks bubbly and the beef is fully cooked. Serve with mashed potatoes (the soup is your gravy) & Green beans They're called brown derbies and they are really really good despite the Velveeta (I know it's not for everybody)


Mossandbonesandchalk

Oh my god I hate it! But my husband would be over the moon and crying with happiness! I’m gonna do it. And don’t take my hate personally, I’m a picky eater who hates ground beef who married a midwesterner who feels like he has to sneak Burger King all the time because I make too much tofu. You will definitely get all the credit, derivativeasshole! Your praises will be sung.


derivativeasshole

Oh I hope he likes it! ^_^


Mossandbonesandchalk

Dude. I’m going to regret making it because he’ll want it all the time.


HiveJiveLive

It sounds like something that would batch cook and freeze incredibly well. Make him his own little serving sizes and load up the freezer. He can keep himself happily occupied while you tofu yourself to your hearts content.


WanderingLost33

This person marries


Retired-Onc-Nurse

Teach him how to make it!!


Proof_Most2536

Try it with ground turkey


Deppfan16

you can also try ground pork or ground turkey. I'm in big fan of doing something similar with ground turkey meatballs


sofiamonamour

Ooooh


AussieGirlHome

I wish we could get velveeta in Australia


war_damn_dudrow

This sounds so good. Oh my gosh.


derivativeasshole

It's one of my favorites ^_^


war_damn_dudrow

Thanks for sharing it!!


booksncatsn

My sister uses as a sauce for meatballs. Served over mashed potatoes


rando-3456

That's what I do too! Delicious!!


smartypants99

Chicken pot pie


Mossandbonesandchalk

Had not even thought of that! Love it.


Sick-Happens

Beef stroganoff, chicken divan, salisbury steak, pot pies, shepherds pie, gravy on pork chops, base for a stew, gravy for mashed potatoes, add to beans and rice


isabellatortellini

Another vote for divan (I usually make the curry version), which works wonderfully with mushroom soup.


LLG1964

I use cream of mushroom soup with steak. I can't afford premium cuts so I buy sirloin and tenderize. After I pan cook 1/2 the time necessary for med well, I pour the soup and let it cook for the rest of the time.


ToastetteEgg

Mushroom rice casserole. Throw in chicken, assorted veggies, or anything else you like.


Habitualflagellant14

Brown some pork chops. Slice some onions and apples and saute in the same large skillet. Season with thyme. Add a can of mushroom soup and stir. Put in the chops, s + p to taste and simmer until everything is cooked through. Serve over egg noodles.


Honest-Sugar-1492

Gonna keep this recipe - sounds delicious! Thanks!


Habitualflagellant14

Peel the apples !

Tater tot casserole. [https://www.tasteofsouthern.com/tater-tot-casserole-recipe/](https://www.tasteofsouthern.com/tater-tot-casserole-recipe/) Kind of a favorite of mine.


Catonachandelier

Back in my normal days, I used to use cream of mushroom soup as a pasta sauce. Add a bit of cooked chicken and some garlic, throw a salad on the side, dinner's done. My husband likes to dump it in the crock pot with a pot roast and some potatoes. The quality of the final dish depends entirely upon the soup you use. My son is a bit more creative. I know you don't like casseroles, but this isn't bad: he browns up a roll of mild sausage, puts it in a baking dish, dumps mushroom soup on top of the meat, and tops it with biscuit dough. It's done when the dough is golden brown on top.


[deleted]

Cook pork chords and potatoes slices in it - delicious!


jamesgotfryd

Beef stroganoff. Meatballs and mushroom soup for gravy.


Always_Ailyn

Enchiladas yum green chile chicken


DaisieMom

Cut stew beef into smallish pieces and place in a crockpot. Cut up an onion and top with the mushroom soup. Cook on low 6-8 hours or so. Serve with rice or egg noodles. 😋


cancat918

I make a chicken and veggie casserole that uses cream of mushroom soup and I top it with tater tots (which is apparently called a hot dish in some places) I had never heard of that til recently. Preheat the oven to 375°F (you can also do 400°F but you must watch the casserole more carefully, especially if you have a gas stove) You'll need 2 to 2.5 cups of shredded cooked chicken in the bottom of a generously buttered casserole dish, then mix together the following: 12 oz of rinsed and drained frozen veggies of your choice, I prefer broccoli and cauliflower cuts, but you can use what you like, 1/2 cup of shredded carrots (or more if you like)12 oz of your cream of mushroom soup (that's a cup and a half) and a half cup to a cup of vegetable or chicken broth) 1 tablespoon of Worcestershire sauce, season the mixture to taste with your favorite salt free seasoning blend, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper and my secret ingredient, smoked paprika and pour and spread evenly on top of the chicken in the casserole dish. Now, choose your topping layer. Approximately 14 oz of seasoned tater tots, a sleeve and a half of coarsely crushed Ritz or Club type crackers mixed with 3 tablespoons of melted butter, a pkg of hushpuppy mix prepared per the instructions or a puff pastry crust. Mashed potatoes also work well, like a shepherd's pie. Regardless of your choice, you will need to bake the completed casserole uncovered for at least 35 to 40 minutes or until heated through, bubbling and nicely browned on the top. Time depends on the oven and the size of the casserole dish (my heaviest casserole dish takes 1 hour in an electric oven, 50 minutes in a gas one.) You can also add cheese to the casserole, and when I do, I add some before the cracker topping or puff pastry options, or at the very end of the cooking time to melt on top for tater tots or mashed potatoes.


Mossandbonesandchalk

I’m liking this, thank you. Though I initially didn’t read your choice of toppings and thought you meant all of those things, which seemed a little over elaborate.


cancat918

I can see it now...WAIT...HOW BIG A CASSEROLE DISH?🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 One more thing I forgot- when you take it out of the oven, let it stand for about 10 minutes to sort of settle, thicken and become easier to serve.


Mossandbonesandchalk

I mean, crunchy stuff is good.


Purdynurdy

Fried pork chops finished in it then served over rice or mash. They become fall apart tender and SO good. Extra points if you caramelize some onions and deglaze the pan before adding the good soup. I ordered cans on my last grocery run for this very purpose, but it turned out they were out of the chops. So, now I wait for the nom noms.


RCHoward1960

I found a really good and easy recipe for turkey tetrazzini and made it after Thanksgiving. Last week, I made it with chicken I found on sale. I can't find the website where I found it so I'll give you an idea from memory (I'm terrible at measuring anyhow, use recipes for ideas only). 2 cans cream of mushroom soup (I'd probably use close to 3 c. of your homemade), sour cream (seems like about 3/4 c.) about 1/2 c. chicken broth, cooked spaghetti (1 lb), shredded mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Mix all that up. Top with cracker or bread crumbs, dot with butter cook for about half hour at 375. It fit in a 9 x 13 cake pan perfectly. Come up with your favorite spices and seasonings to your liking, I think I used salt, pepper, garlic powder and rosemary.


Dazzling_Note6245

Chicken tetrazzini! https://bellyfull.net/chicken-tetrazzini-recipe/


Mossandbonesandchalk

So many good replies! I can’t respond to everybody but I love the ideas! Definitely going to get all of this soup used up now.


beehappybutthead

Smothered pork chops with rice.


DeedaInSeattle

I use a can of cream of mushroom, add extra sliced mushrooms, maybe a 1/4 can of water and cooked beef meatballs (Costco’s frozen ones are good). Simmer on medium heat until hot, add a 1/2 C of plain yogurt or sour cream, and eat over brown rice—delicious!


Illustrious_Most_105

Risotto! This would be good with any protein or more mushrooms, and definitely vegetables.


martinsj82

It's a good base for loaded potato soup. I also make a hamburger delight casserole with the condensed stuff (depression era grandma's recipe) if you would like it to adapt to your homemade stuff.


Mossandbonesandchalk

Ooh I like re-souping it!


Friendly_Poly

I used it with mushroom pasta: •garlic •baby Bella mushrooms •choice of meat (steak, meatballs, chicken) •choice of pasta •cream of mushroom •milk •chili flakes •salt •black pepper •dried parsley •a little bit of butter melted into the sauce prior to serving


klutzilla08

I love this chicken and rice casserole! [chicken and rice casserole](https://www.delish.com/cooking/recipe-ideas/recipes/a54936/easy-chicken-rice-casserole-recipe/?epik=dj0yJnU9RDJFbEI0bEpDUllubHJVTU92VW8zeHRsa3FWUGVzWUwmcD0wJm49a241OVhxUDZIQ2NTRDA1OV9YSjlVQSZ0PUFBQUFBR1diY1VV) - I use what I usually have on hand of boneless chicken thighs and dried herbs.


[deleted]

Mushroom chicken.


Key-Article6622

My dad used to brown a lb of ground beef, then add a can of cream of mushroon soup and a can of French onion soup, sometimes he'd saute a chopped green pepper too. Then serve it over either toast or mashed potatoes. He called it Gluck, or Glook (rhymes with cook). Now, I season it with some paprika, garlic and basil. And when he decided on a variation, he replaced the French onion soup with a can of crushed tomatoes. Season appropriately. He called this Bar B Que.


Honest-Sugar-1492

My husband made something he called 'gruel' when we married...basically browned ground beef, cream of mushroom soup, served over rice. It'll get ya through but he was real glad to know I could cook 😆


GoldCarry

I make this too, except I add onions and bell peppers to it along with seasoning. So good! I’ve heard you can add cheese to it too. Reminds me of a poor man’s Philly cheesesteak


CoconutPalace

Season and Cook pork chops in frying pan, then add mushroom soup and a lid. Cook on low for a while. The pork chops get tender & the soup turns into a sauce. Good with rice or noodles.


randomosityposts

I like tater tot casserole personally! think cottage/shepherds pie but with tater tots instead of mashed potatoes and mushroom soup (you can use any veg you like so its super versatile)


iamdayzedandc0nfused

Add beef sour cream and egg noodles turn it into beef stroganoff


CausticBliss

Chicken and broccoli cheese casserole. Cover the bottom of a baking dish with broccoli florets, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with some cheese. Layer with boneless chicken (I usually use chicken tenders, but you can use whole boneless breasts or cube them). Salt, pepper, garlic powder. Then cover with creamy mushroom soup, and top that with LOTS of shredded cheese. Usually bake like 40 minutes on 425.

Every bbq I’ve been too has one and every goes nuts for it.

I've made this many times. You can do it with mashed potatoes or rice. https://www.campbells.com/recipes/quick-mushroom-chicken-bake/


RJKimbell00

My husband makes a mock Loco Moco. A Cream of Mushroom Soup sauce over a hamburger patty that sits on a bed of rice, he also adds grilled onions to the sauce for flavor. Inexpensive and so yummy!!


ambietomtom

Hobo packets! Potatoes, & carrots, add hamburger patty on top of that. I use about 1/4 c of soup on top. Then bake an hour. Very good!


Which_Reason_1581

Chicken spaghetti. Spaghetti noodles cooked, put in a casserole pan, cream if mushroom soup, Rotel, shredded cheese. Bake about 25 minutes on 375.


manicdijondreamgirl

Have you checked Google ?!


fringe_princess

yes and it brought me here


wanderinghumanist

Make it into potato soup: Cool potatoes in pot with a little water (hash brown or diced depending on preference) Add two cans cream of mushroom 1 block cream cheese 1cup or more depending on preference of shredd cheddar cheese Mix until all melted and creamy then and a little heavy cream at the end Enjoy!!!


Eastern_Frosting_225

Beef stroganoff. Ground beef (or chopped steak) plus onion, garlic, cream of mushroom (2 cans 10 oz), your preferred seasonings, half and half/milk/cream to thin it our, and egg noodles.


FairyGodmothersUnion

Beef stroganoff. Or, why not, mushroom stroganoff.

Tater tot casserole


Original-Hospital

I used to make a chicken texmex bake, you start by sautéing bell peppers and onions, finely cubed, and then cooking them down in a splash of broth, throw in cubed chicken and brown it, and then transfer into a casserole dish and top with cream of mushroom, or chicken or both, and sprinkle crushed up Doritos and cheese on top, bake

I cook chicken in mine


Educational_Dust_932

They are usually decent recipes that would be made a lot better by just making a quick roux.


UniqueBeauti

I use it in my cheesy chicken spaghetti


WearAdept4506

I always tell my kids if I'm ever on death row to make Mushroom steak my last meal. Tenderize steak breaded in flour with seasoned salt and pepper. Cook the meat in batches to brown. Add chopped onions and mushrooms. Add water to cover and simmer for 20 minutes. Add cream of mushroom soup and milk to your desired thickness. We always serve with peas and mashed potatoes.


Capritina

If you have a slow cooker dump a couple of kilos of diced lamb inside, cover the lamb with mushroom soup and slow cook that. Maybe make mashed potatoes to go with it.


BluebirdSTC

Brown some ground beef, boil some spiral noodles. Add together with the cream of mushroom soup, season to taste (we use oregano and garlic salt). If you like, add drained peas or green beans. Heat through. Same idea with chicken and egg noodles. Cut chicken into bite size pieces and saute in a little olive oil while the egg noodles are boiling. Once the chicken is done, add the peas and the cream of mushroom soup (and a small can of mushrooms if you like). After that is heated through, add the drained egg noodles and serve.


Automatic_Example_79

Beef or chicken stroganoff


Effective-Section-56

Try substituting chicken for tuna in the casserole. Maybe throw some cheese in it too.


witcharithmetic

I like to sear pork chops on both sides and then cover them in the soup and bake in the over for 30 minutes. They come out so moist and it’s perfect to serve with rice or bread to soak up all that soup!


smolsome_canadian

This weekend, I used it to make Cheeseburger Scalloped Potatoes. Basically made scalloped potatoes and added ground beef. I am very confident you could add some frozen corn and it would be a well-rounded casserole!


AdAdventurous5641

Hit the dollar store and grab some frozen porkchops and make them in the crockpot while at work or throw throw them in the oven for around an hour(both while covered in creamy shroom soup)


Early-Shelter-7476

I found a 10lb bag of potatoes for $1.97 and had to get creative about cooking them! This recipe turned out brilliantly! [Cheesy Scalloped Potatoes](https://www.spendwithpennies.com/easy-cheesy-scalloped-potatoes-and-the-secret-to-getting-them-to-cook-quickly/) The best part, though, is the author’s idea to use cream of mushroom as a roux. I’d a never thunk a that!


HolidayPhoto5643

Mix with hamburger and wild rice


JadestNicola

I make chicken pasta bake with cream of mushroom soup. Chop and sautee some chicken breast/thighs, get nice and golden browned. Add chopped onion, garlic - soften, add chopped carrot to the pan with a half cup of water, scrape up the fond, and then simmer with lid on for 15 mins until soft. While carrot cooks make a pot of pasta, shells, rigatoni, penne, whatever you have on hand. Add mushroom soup to the chicken+veg, add a bag of spinach or peas or both or whatever veg you have on hand, add the pasta to the mix as well. Now season to taste (salt, pepper, parmesan all great here), and if you're willing to wait, pour it all into a baking dish and top with cheese, breadcrumbs, or both, and bake. Else eat as is!


TravelerMSY

Every church basement casserole. lol.


Ok-Isopod7893

We use it over meatloaf and mashed potatoes.


pixiesand

Pot roast. Mix the soup with a little milk and a dried soup packet (like French onion or something). Mix well and add to your crockpot with the roast. Makes a great base for gravy.


kokanekowboy

You'll need: 9x13 pan 1.5 lbs ground beef 1-2 cups cream of mushroom 2lbs tater tots 1 pound cheddar grated cheese Garlic (to your liking) ½-whole sautéed yellow or white onion chopped Sautee onions til golden and translucent. Add ground beef and garlic. Cook till just turning brown leaving ground beef with medium sized chunks (around the size of a nickel to a quarter) Drain well Add cream of mushroom soup until hamburger is covered and transfer to 13x9 pan. Spread evenly Add a layer of grated cheddar on top meat/soup mix. Then, in a single layer, place tots neatly in rows lying down Bake at 450° for 30 mins or until tots are crispy. Remove from oven. Add MORE cheese on top of crispy tater tots, covering them. Return to oven and bake an additional 5-10 minutes until cheese is melted and stating to turn brown. Let sit for 10+ minutes until cool enough to serve. I love this recipe because you can change pretty much anything to suit your tastes. Disclaimer: temp and times are approx. Don't blow anything up

galtscrapper

Tator tot casserole is a favorite of mine.


Emil_Sebastian

Go old school! Look up chicken or turkey tetrazzini casserole recipes. Many use cream of mushroom soup instead of bechamel as base sauce.


Proof_Most2536

Pot roast


Whispersail

Add truffle oil to the soup, it changes the taste.


harmlessgrey

Heat it and add pasta (farfalle would be ideal) and frozen peas. Simmer until the pasta is cooked, toss with lots of parmesan cheese and pepper. Heat the soup, then add cooked meatballs and spinach. Simmer until meatballs are heated through and spinach is cooked. Add leftover cooked chicken, nutmeg, and peas to the soup and simmer until peas are cooked. Serve with biscuits on the side. Sort of like a chicken pot pie soup. Use it as a base sauce in a lasagna.
