Recipe entirely of packaged items!

I figured our "scones" weren't the real deal. I may have to find a recipe and try my hand at them! I actually love making recipes from other cultures. It is cooling off here now, so I will be able to use my own more. No baking when it is 95 degrees F here in the summer.

Cambells Chicken and white wine condensed soup makes a great carbonara. We all loved it in this house.

Could we have the receipt please. I like the sound of that? x

We just add chicken, mushrooms and onions along with a white wine stock pot before mixing in with cooked tagliatelle.

The American biscuit is more bread like than a plain scone and lighter in texture. Eaten a lot in the southern states I think and that's where I first tasted them. Had them with gravy at dinner but I think people also sometimes eat them just with butter and jam. Very nice.

at Jack In The Box biscuits! I might look for those biscuits next time I’m in the US and make my son bake them for me.

DHs newspaper has a daily recipe, so does FB, but lately they always seem to be a cobble together of pre-packed, pre-prepped items. One even mentioned a cake mix!

Just looked up a recipe and according to that one you need two tablespoons of baking powder 😲 - it must be a typo!!
Apparently this makes a shaggy dough
Think I'll give that one a miss!

Thanks, but still unsure when the condensed soup goes in?
And that’s not a carbonara surely …to me a carbonara is with bacon or similar, egg yolk and Parmesan etc?

We aren't so refined...carbonara to us is just a white sauce. 🤣
Once all the chicken, mushrooms and onions are cooked, we add the condensed soup. Oh, we add a bit of garlic too. It is just a quick go to meal when we don't want to spend hours cooking and used to feed our large family easily.

Italians would be rolling in their graves at the thought of that carbonara! I'm not knocking your recipes, by the way - and you can of course call it whatever you like. When I make 'proper' carbonara, it's just pancetta (guanciale if I can get it, which isn't very often), eggs and parmesan.
I admit do occasionally use condensed soup in a tuna pasta bake which my mum used to make, but I've not made that for ages. I don't think there's anything wrong with using things that from time to time, but almost all those American recipes I see on social media seem to use nothing but prepacked ingredients and very little fresh.

I once made a Spaghetti Bolognaise for 2 Italian teenagers who were so rude about it, refusing to even try it that I wouldn’t try to feed Italian food to the Italians ever again. If I want proper Italian food I go to a restaurant. Nowadays I go for ease and healthy recipes so don’t eat much pasta. My pasta maker is great for clay rolling though.

I had a recipe book given to me soon after I was married (60+ years ago) called "How to Cheat at Cooking" by Delia Smith. It uses tins, ready cooked chickens and packet mixes and really helped me in those early days when I only had a limited number of dishes to rely on.
I still dip into it when I'm tired and don't feel like cooking. I don't know if its still in print.

Is it a bit like having roast beef and yorkshire puddings?

Sadly (for them) , US "biscuits and gravy " is nothing remotely like RB+YP.

I still use condensed soup for a tuna bake. However 2 tubs of tuna now as the tins really reduced in size.

I had a French exchange student stay when my children were young. I over heard her on the phone to her father (a chef) saying oh its disappointing they eat exactly the same as we do at home. I got my gold star out and gave it a polish 😂

Oh dear, poor things.
I almost feel sorry for them.

This biscuit business sounds a bit like suet pastry to me such as “cobbler”
