My grandmother and my mother (and occasionally I) cook ground beef &
make a gravy using the drippings and add just little water and lots of
salt & pepper. Served over mashed potatoes. There was no canned soup
involved. It's how they stretched a meal. Quite tasty, too!

Campbell's was at one time a good soup. They've changed it too much
over the years.
