Potato Casserole

I love potatoes more than makes rational sense. This isn’t a lowfat menu option, but I think you could cut some corners and make it a bit healthier. I paired it with meatloaf and wasn’t worried about calories at the time. A few days later I reheated some casserole alongside scrambled eggs… oh my goodness, [...]

Corn Casserole (The Midwestern Way)

This casserole is good stuff. My friend Julie used to make it. She moved far far away, leaving me somewhat sad and Julie-less and without this kind of corn casserole. The recipe includes Velveeta, thus I’ve determined it to be very midwestern in nature. It’s another from the OZC, courtesy of one lovely Dawn Tompkins.

In the fall this is one of my favorite dishes. I just made it today. The quantities are a bit up to the cook depending on how much you want to make.

Green beans–cut up (I get the frozen ones when I’m feeling lazy)
Bacon–cut up into small pieces
Cream of mushroom soup [...]

Breakfast Casserole

I love breakfast casseroles. Jason says it’s hard to go wrong with chicken; I say it’s hard to go wrong with brunch. Anyway, this is one of my favorite breakfast casserole recipes (both for its ease and for the final yumminess). I haven’t figured out how to make it ahead of time because of the [...]
