If you're familiar with Garrison Keillor's Lake Woebegon, that's pretty much where I live.  Suffice it to say that I've been to more than my share of church basement potlucks.  I like these people okay; I do not like their Chung King chow mein noodles-Cream of Celery Soup-Miracle Whip food much.  
Here is an actual recipe that actually tastes good.  You will have to suspend your disbelief.
A package of frozen meatballs 
A can of Cream of Mushroom Soup (Have I lost you yet?) 
A can of button mushrooms, including the liquid 
and ….. 
Half a jar of Cheese Whiz! (At least I didn’t say Spam.)
Dump the meatballs in the crock pot, mix together the other ingredients and pour them over. Cook on low, 2-4 hours. Serve over noodles or rice or potatoes, if you like.

 Yes.  That's the attitude I'm trying to maintain.
