Tender Pork & Mushroom Gravy Dish

fishing for recipes's Note:

This dish has been a family favorite for 12 years now. It is very tasty; uses an inexpensive and lean cut of meat; and the overall dish is relatively low in calories. I made this up and have tweeked it over the years. Make sure to use Campbell's soup (I tried to cut costs once by using generic and it was a disaster!) It is wonderful over rice, noodles or toast. (One day we will try it over mashed potatoes.) Enjoy!
