  • 1 tablespoon neutral oil
  • 1 medium onion (chopped)
  • 1 medium bell pepper (any color, chopped)
  • 1 10.5-ounce can condensed cream of chicken soup
  • 1 10.5-ounce can condensed cream of mushroom soup

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 350° Fahrenheit. Lightly grease 9x13 baking dish and set aside.
