Sometimes you just have to throw some things down and use your imagination. Not that there's anything special or unique about the dish I made last night. I have seen other renditions of this, and have probably made something very similar before.
But it was all just pretty much "off the cuff," so to speak.
I browned up some ground beef, drained it, and set it aside. Then I chopped up some onions and red bell pepper and cooked that together with some mushrooms.
Meanwhile, I took a tablespoon of flour, one packet of French onion soup mix and 1 cup of water and whisked that all up and returned the meat to the onion and mushroom mixture before pouring in the soup mix mixture.
Then I went in with one can of cream of mushroom soup.
All the while egg noodles were boiling and I added them to the mixture simmering in the pot.
It was definitely good eats. What went on your dinner table last night?

That doesn't sound bad at all.
I wasn't hungry last night.

@DaddyEvil Only if I am sick, which thankfully, is rare.

That sounds pretty good. I plan to make meatballs and gravy with rice for dinner. And of course fried okra!

@porwest Yeah, I make my own. But now I make small patties rather than roll meatballs.

@1creekgirl I bet those are some good meatball patties, though.

Sounds good especially with the egg noodles.
Last night we grilled chicken on a salad. Nothing fancy but quick and easy before I had company.

I too browned ground beef, but not for the asme reason you did.
