Pour into a 2-qt. casserole sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 375° for 50 to 60 minutes or until a knife inserted in the center comes out clean. Yield: 6 servings. Editor's Note: One can condensed reduced-fat cream of mushroom soup diluted with 1/2 can of water may be used in place of the homemade soup mix.
