What do you do with 1/2 a can of cheese soup? Make macaroni & cheese! Mix your 1/2 can of soup with 1/2 can of milk and heat on the stove. When hot - pour over cooked elbows. I scrambled the hamburger and tomatoes together in a frying pan. Stir everything together - yum! Really, cheese soup makes the best macaroni & cheese! Served with a salad and mini cheese - a perfect lunch! If you have kids that love cheese/mac - try this (you can skip the hamburger and tomatoes).
Here is a simple porkchop recipe...
Spray the bottom of the pan with cooking spray. Add chopped potatoe and a few slices of onion and a mushroom or two if you have some! I like potatoe and was ever hopeful that my Little Boy might eat some, so I put in 2 potatoes.
Heat 1/2 a can of cheese soup on the stove with 1/2 can of water. You need to heat it up to get it to mix altogether. Pour most of the soup over your potatoes/onion. Put the porkchop on top - add some salt and pepper. Spoon the rest of the soup on top of the porkchop (you should have about 2-3 TBS left over which is perfect for 1 chop). Sprinkle the top of the chop with breadcrumbs, cover everything with tinfoil and put into the oven for 1 hour at 375.
OK - so here are my results for tonight... I didn't have any tinfoil so I used a pan cover that didn't exactly fit. So - the sides dried out a bit - you can see that in the foil (thank goodness for that cooking spray stuff because the pan was still a cinch to clean!). And - I cut the potatoes a tad too big - I should have chopped them just a bit smaller because parts of them still had a tiny tiny bit of a crunch and I like my potatoes cooked. But - it could be because I didn't have tinfoil so things didn't steam like they usually do.
I had some sauteed zuchinni with dinner. Would have been good with some applesauce, but since I just had that thought now and dinner is long over - well, next time! I was hoping to have some salad too, but that never got made today. Looks like salad tomorrow at lunch then because I have lots of lettuce to use up and one of my neighbors gave me some yummy tomatoes.
Obviously - you can easily adjust the amounts for more people.
And, now I have 1/2 can of left-over cheese soup to mix in with some elbow noodles and scrambled hamburger with some chopped tomatoes for lunch tomorrow... 
A bargain piece of steak - $1.35 Canadian for this piece. Yes, a marinating steak. So, I put it in the zip lock baggie first thing in the morning and marinated it in Italian salad dressing for 12 hours. I think it could have used another 12 hours of marinating, because it was still a little tough.
Still, I usually like these thin steaks because they only take 5 minutes to grill on my little double-sided grill.
But - all in all, not a BAD dinner. When in doubt about something, be sure to prepare other things that you know you like... pesto pasta left-overs from a mix and steamed veggies even out the plate.
And, since it is getting colder out, I've put my fish-y plates away until next summer.
