Seeking Casserole Recipes........

I like to go to campbellkitchen.com... They have TONS of ideas (all using campbell soups etc) that are good and affordable. Another favorite of mine (it's not a casserole, but you might like it anyway) is Taco Soup. My guy is hispanic and teased me the first time I made it for him cuz it's not REAL mexican food, but now he loves it and asks me to make it pretty regularly. here goes:

1 onion
2lbs hamburger
1 can chili (no beans)
2 cans pinto beans
3 cans stewed or diced tomatos
1 can rotel (tomatos with green peppers)
velveta cheese (optional)
sour cream (optional)
1 pack taco seasoning (optional)

chop onion and brown that with the hamburger
blend or chop stewed tomatos
pour hamburger and all cans (don't drain) into a croc pot
cook on high. (the longer you cook it the more "soupy" it will get, but sometimes I like to fill the croc pot to the top with water and add a pack of taco seasoning just so I don't have to wait as long)
right before serving add cubed cheeze and sour cream (to bowls) Hope you like it!

My family loves tatertot casserole and it is so easy

fry hamburger drain off grease and add 1 can cream soup (I usually use mushroom, but cheddar or chicken or tomato also work well) add a vegtable ( green beans work nice, but any vegi that your kid will eat is good), add 1/2 soup can of water or milk and warm. Pour into square or rectangle pan. put frozen tater tots on top cook in oven according to time and temp on tater tot package. When has about 15 minutes left pull out and sprinkle grated cheese on top put back in for the 10-15 minutes and waaa laaa you have a yummy meal :)

A simple and quick one that my family loves is "Tator Tot Casserole"
In a 9 X 13 cake pan crumble 1 1/2 lbs of hamburger(I use raw meat doesn't seem to dry out so much when you cook it, but for a healthier way precook the burger), over top of the burger spread a can of cream of mushroom soup (I use cream of chicken, we don't like mushrooms), then spread the tator tots out evenly over the soup, I also use some salt and pepper and onion flakes on each layer but you can make it to your own taste, bake at 375* for 30 minutes. Another variation you can try is sprinkle shredded cheese over the top for the last 5 minutes of cooking.

Try allrecipes.com. They have many many recipes, from easy to hard. I think there is a catagory that is 3 ingredients even. I love that site.

I know this isn't really a casserole but good and easy. One of our favorite meals is can or 2 of chille with corn bread just make the corn bread like you would but put the chille in the bottome of (I used any 8x8) pan and cook until the corn bread is done. Quick easy to the point. One mess to clean up. We like Marie Callender's you just add water and it's really sweet and moist and only takes a min to mix up. Hope you like it.

I have never made it this way I just use our reg taco dinner and mix it up with what we like. Meat, beans, corn, cheese, and top with lettuse and sour cream. But I don't do very spice things so I just customize it for me. Not that tacos arn't aready the easy dinner but you have everything in one dish. Less clean-up. Have fun and let the kids help too.

i've done variations on the same casserole, you can pretty much modify however or to your taste.

Cooked ground beef, mixed in a veggie (like green beans), can crm of Mushroom soup, Mashed potatoes on top and sprinkle with cheese. heat through.

Variation: Replace soupe with tomato sauce, replace potatoes with cornbread, no cheese. Bake till cornbread done.

Variation: Replace green beans with Corns, Replace potatoes w/bisquick prepared and dolloped across top. Bake till Bisquick biscuit top done.

My favorite casserole is my mother's Sunday Chicken Dinner Casserole: You take 4 chicken breasts, line them up in a pan, then put a can of cream of chicken soup in there, then after that, you take stove top stuffing (cooked) and spread around on top and in between the chicken breasts. Then you pop it in the oven at 375 until the chicken juices run clear. It's delicious and quick!

I have several, but it seems most have posted some variation. One that I came up with on my own is an enchilada casserole.

1 lb chicked cut into strips and browned
add to the browned chicken while still on the stovetop
1 can mexicorn
about 1/2 cup shredded cheese
1/2 can enchilada sauce
2 big scoops of sour cream
1 small can green chilies

place a flour tortilla in a casserole dish, add a serving spoon size of the mixture, sprinkle some cheese the wrap up. Repeat filling your dish with rolled torillas. Top with the rest of the enchilada sauce and some cheese. Bake at 350 for 15 minutes. Its very yummy and easy to re-heat for lunch the next day or even for dinner again.

The BEST (and easiest) Tuna Casserole!!!

Cook egg noodles- 1 package
mix together in big bowl- 2 cans tuna, 2 cans cream of mushroom, cooked noodles- optional: add some frozen green peas, black olives, mushrooms (any or all)
Dump it all into a casserole dish and top with: crackers- crushed up (or bread crumbs) and mixed with some melted butter- just enough to coat the crackers. spread this over the top of the casserole and sprinkle parmesan or cheddar- (cheeses optional)
Put it in a 375-400 degree oven for about 5-10 min (til the top browns) and it is ready!

In total- takes all of 20 minutes- less if you cook the noodles ahead of time. I have NEVER been able to make enough of this for ANYONE- I ALWAYS run out! The kids and the elderly love it because there is NOTHING spicy at all in it, and it is fairly healthy and everyone will have 2nds/3rds.....

My fav easy cheap casserole is potato puff casserole.

one can of campbells mushroom soap
one package of american cheese
one ib of hamburger or turkey hamburger
one large bag of tater tots

brown the hamburger, drain the grease, put it in a large rectangular casserole dish, cover it with the full can of mushroom soap, put an entire layer of american cheese on top, cover with a layer of tater tots. Bake it according to the tater tots directions on the bag. My sister inserts a veggie usually either corn or green beans. I don't like it this way but it is always a thought. Makes for a very cheap dinner usually less than 4 dollars and feeds my family of 4 plus some.

One of my favorite casseroles is Tuna Caserole.

1 can tuna (drained)
1 1/2 cups elbow maccaroni
1 can cream of mushroom soup
8 slices of american cheese

preheat oven to 350
Cook the maccaroni as usual, drain maccaroni

In a seperate bowl mix, cream of mushroom soup and a can of milk from the soup can with the maccaroni

Lightly grease inside of casserole dish then put mixture in the dish and top off with cheese. I add pepper to the top of the cheese.

Put in oven for 30 minutes or until cheese starts to melt and viola, quick and yummy.

Best when served with garlic bread

I am not the best cook in the world. I mainly cook out of the microwave or mac and cheese. This is fast and simple and I love it. My dad calls me crazy for liking it so much. Let me know what you think.
