This is my favorite when I need something quick:

Salisbury steak with mushroom gravy

2 lb. ground beef
1 egg
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 small onion
Salt and pepper to taste
1 (10 oz.) can cream of mushroom soup
1 soup can milk
1 pkg. brown gravy mix

Combine meat, egg, crubs, onion, salt and pepper. Shape into 6 or 8 oval patties. Brown well on both sides. In a small bowl, combine soup, gravy mix and milk. Pour over patties. Bake at 300* for one hour, or until well done.

Shortcut Beef Stroganoff-Another favorite

1 lb. boneless beef sirloin steak, 3/4" thick (can also use ground beef)
1 T. vegetable oil
1 can (10 3/4 oz.)cream of mushroom soup
1 (10 1/2 oz.) condensed beef broth
1 C. water
2 tsp. Worcestershire sauce
3 C. uncooked rotini pasta

Slice beef into very thin strips. In medium skillet over medium-high heat, heat oil. Add beef and cook until beef is browned and juices evaporate, stirring often. Add soup, broth, water and Worchestershire. Heat to a boil. Stir in pasta. Reduce heat to medium. Cook 15 minutes, or until pasta is done, stirring often. Stir in sour cream and heat through.
