    Yummy! I used one can of cream of mushroom soup and one can of cream of mushroom with garlic because that is what I had in the pantry. I also added two beef bullion cubes to the water. Otherwise followed the directions and it turned out wonderful!

    I only used one can of mushroom soup and it still tasted delicious and had enough gravy to fill the gravy boat. Served with mashed potatoes to mop up all that gravy, mmmm mmmm. =)
