Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit. Lightly grease a 9×13 inch baking dish.

- In a medium bowl, combine the cream of mushroom soup, cranberry sauce, and dry onion soup mix. Stir until the ingredients are just mixed.

- Serve this dish over rice, mashed potatoes, or egg noodles to soak up the sauce.
