Notes
- This “dump-and-go” method keeps prep minimal, and using canned soups ensures a rich, homestyle flavor. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}
- Adding Greek yogurt or sour cream at the end boosts creaminess without curdling or breaking the sauce. :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}
- For a Tuscan twist, include sun-dried tomatoes, garlic, spinach, and Parmesan—yielding a richer, more layered flavor. :contentReference[oaicite:5]{index=5}
- This recipe pairs well with a variety of sides—try mashed potatoes, noodles, or crusty bread to soak up the sauce.
