My mom uses to marinate Pork Chops with the Italian salad dressing & bake them in the oven - so yummy! Now you have me craving Mama's Italian pork chops!

it's real easy...get acquainted with the cream soups brown your burger, with onions, garlic, and whatever seasonings you desire -- think about your sides and the type of meal you're going for. prepare your pasta, dump in the large skillet that has your beef and 'additions,' and stir. set your heat on medium and stir in a can of cream soup -- whatever you choose, just remember the style that you're going for. add water, a soup can at a time, while stirring until you reach the consistency you desire. reduce heat to low and let all ingredients meld. when all is heated through, about 10 minutes, serve! want to go for a complete skillet meal? cook a 10-oz frozen pkg of the veggie of your choice -- peas, mixed veggies, chopped broccoli or spinach, etc. -- with the pasta. then follow the above directions for mixing all together and adding the soup have fun! make your own creation! there's some really great cream soups out there that aren't being used to enhance meals.
