Any Great Casserole Receipes?
I have a couple of friends that just had babies. I'd like to make casseroles for them. Does anyone have any easy, quick favorite receipes?

For a change a Mexican Lasagna is easy if you use the lasagna noodles that cook in the oven...Just layer them with salsa, cheese, and taco meat. The final layer should be cheese. Cook just like you would any other lasagna.

I made this last year for my son's teacher's B-day at school (all the teachers attend) and every teacher wanted a copy of the recipe. It is enchiladas baked like a casserole---SO EASY!!
Green Chili Enchiladas
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can chopped green chilis
8 oz. sour cream
Shredded cheese
1 lb. cooked chicken (boneless)
6 flour tortillas
Roll desired amount of cooked chicken and shredded cheese into the tortillas. Lay side by side in 13x9 inch baking dish. Combine soup, sour cream and green chilis. Pour mixture evenly over the top of the tortillas and sprinkle desired amount of shredded cheese. Bake for about 30 minutes on 350 degrees. This will heat the enchiladas throughout and melt the cheese on top. The chicken must be fully cooked prior to being rolled into the tortillas. Canned chicken works well. You can also substitute chopped jalapenos for the green chilis if you want the enchiladas spicy. (no jalapenos for nursing moms!) :)

I have a really simple one that my family loves. It's 3 cups of diced ham, 8 oz. of macaroni (cooked), 1-8 oz. container of sour cream, and 12 oz. of swiss cheese.
Mix all ingredients together (keep a little of the cheese to put on top if you want) and bake for 30 minutes @ 350 degrees.
I have found that getting those ham steaks and chopping it in the food processor works wonderfully.
Hope your friends love this as much as my family does.

One of my family favorites is Tater Tot casserole. Very easy to make.
1lb of ground beef
1 can of cream of chicken
1 can of cream of mushroom
1 bag of tater tots
salt and pepper
shredded cheese
pre heat oven to 350
I use a square 8 X 8 glass pan
brown the meat
combine the creams and get them warm in a pot
when the meat is brown, combine the meat with the creams add salt and pepper
In the baking dish line the tater tots in a row on the bottom of the dish,
pour the meat and creams ontop of the tater tots and do the same with the tater tots again, line them up on top of the creams and meat. Put in oven for 25mins pull out and sprinkle with the cheese and let cook for another 5mins.
My family loves this when I cook it and my 5yr actually will eat it all. If you make this hope it will work out for you.
Thanks

I have a really easy casserole called Chicken Poppyseed Casserole that I make for all of friends who are new moms. It is always a big hit. Preheat the oven to 350. In a casserole dish, combine 1 can cream of celery, 1 can cream of mushroom, 8 oz. sour cream, and 3 cubed pre-cooked chicken breasts(I usually boil them just before preparing the casserole). Then in a seperate bowl, combine 2 sleeves of crumbled ritz crackers, 1 stick melted butter, and 2 tablespoons of poppyseeds. Pour on top of chicken mixture and bake for 30 minutes. It is so easy and very tasty!! Hope that helps.
