In this post I’m going to share two recipes for two amazing Christmas side dishes that I like to serve at my holiday parties. Both recipes will using Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup!

Recipe #2 : Creamy Cheesy Baked Penne
This baked penne is one of the simplest side dishes ever. It’s just penne pasta, Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup, and cheese! To make this pasta dish festive, I used tri-colored pasta; however, you can use regular penne! Although this dish is super quick and easy to put together, it is extremely flavorful. The cream of mushroom soup makes the baked penne super creamy and delicious.
