Cheddar Cheese Soup from a Can?!?!

So I have really no idea how it made its way into my pantry.  I am really not a soup can cuisine kind of girl. Honest.  I swear.  But there it was...a single can of Campbell's Cheddar Cheese soup.  I must have bought it by accident thinking it was mushroom or chicken noodle or something else.  Yeah...that's it....accidentally purchased it.

In the "spirit" of the challenge - which thankfully will be ending soon - the soup must be used!  Sorry kids but it must be done.  The recipe on the back of the can is for some kind of abomination....errrr....delightful combination called "Salsa Mac & Beef".  Too bad we've used up all the cans and jars of salsa we have, so it will have to be added later or omitted all together.

Appetizing, isn't it?  Gotta love a food that tones in with the granite in your counter top, don't you?  And that sheen is just as delightful as Charlie or Martin.

Oh well....now it istemporarily re-named Om's Cheddar Cheesey Mac & Beef.  Yes, you are correct, I have placed the burden...err...honour on Om to make use of this little gem.  I just can't bring myself to do it.

Instructions:

Brown 1 lb. lean ground beef or turkey in a skillet.  Stir in one can beef broth and 1 can water.  Add 2 cups uncooked elbow pasta and cook for 10 minutes or until tender.  Mix in 1 can Campbell's Cheddar Cheese Soup and 1 cup salsa.  Heat thoroughly.  Serves 4.

Tonight is Priscilla Queen of the Desert at the Princess of Wales, preceded by dinner at Wine Bar Local Artisan Kitchen on Church  (used to be JK Wine Bar) thanks to an awesome Groupon deal!


Enjoy kids!

  1. We can only hope that when the time comes for them to choose a home to put us in, they don't remember this dinner. And, any leftovers go to the dog.

  2. I am saddened. After all the time I have spent trying to shape their young pallets, they actually liked it!!! Oh well.
