Two quick and easy Christmas side dishes that I make using Campbell’s Cream of Mushroom Soup!

Hi friends! During this time of the year I’m always hosting parties. When I host, I like to make a lot of side dishes. However, I don’t like be in the kitchen all day ( because I have to entertain my guest right?!). To help save time, but still make amazing dishes, I like to incorporate Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup into some of my recipes!

In this post I’m going to share two recipes for 2 amazing side dishes that I like to serve at my holiday parties. Both recipes will use Campbell’s cream of mushroom soup!

Recipe #1 : Twice Baked Potatoes

These twice baked potatoes are simply amazing. The cream of mushroom soup replaces the butter, and sour cream to make a extra creamy potato. Also the soup adds a ton of flavor!

Recipe #2 : Creamy Cheesy Baked Penne

This baked penne is one of the simplest side dishes ever. It’s just penne, Campbell’s cream of mushroom, 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.
