1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 jar or can mushrooms

Combine all except onion in casserole dish with tight cover. Bake 2 1/2 hours at 325 degrees. Add onion last hour. Thicken juice if necessary. Serve over mashed potatoes, rice or noodles. Serves 3 to 4. In doubling recipe, I use 1 can cream of onion soup and 1 can of cream of mushroom soup.
