1 head of cabbage

1 can of tomato soup. Mix with water as can says.

Reuben Casserole (compliments of HansieDZ)

Drain a can of sauerkraut very well and place in a mixing bowl.

To that add some sour cream (around a cup I'd guess),some chopped onions if you want,garlic salt and pepper to taste.You can add 1000 Island dressing now or wait and add it at the table.

Mix together then spread out in a baking dish (I spray mine with butter flavored Pam).Over the top of that,lay out some slices of corned beef,but turkey and ham work well too.

Top that layer with swiss cheese.Top with rye bread.Over the top of everything,pour 1/2c.(1 stick) melted butter and bake in the oven at 350 about 25 minutes until everything is hot and bubbly and the bread is all crispy.If you want,you can top with 1000 Island dressing for a true reuben experience!

We had a really good chicken casserole last night!

Don't have the recipe in front of me so I'll wing it.

Cut into cubes about 1-1/2 lb of cooked boneless, skinless chicken breast.

Get a package of Stovetop Stuffing. Put 1/2 cup of the stuffing in a 13X9 pan. Put the chicken over that stuffing. Combine 1 can of cream of chicken soup, 2/3 cup of sour cream, and a thawed/drained pkg of mixed veggies. Spoon that over the chicken. Mix 1 cup HOT water with the remainder of the stuffing, fluff. Put the stuffing over the soup/veggie mix. Bake at 400 for about 40 minutes.

This was very good "comfort" food. I took leftovers today for lunch and it was great. :)

Best Ever....MACARONI AND CHEESE (Martha Stewart)
Serves 12
(cut down or increase, depending on number served 1/2 for serving 6 etc.)

8 tablespoons (1 stick) unsalted butter, plus more for dish
6 slices good white bread, crusts removed, torn into 1/4- to 1/2-inch pieces
5 1/2 cups milk
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper, or to taste
4 1/2 cups (about 18 ounces) grated sharp white or yellow cheddar cheese
2 cups (about 8 ounces) grated Gruyère or 1 1/4 cups (about 5 ounces) pecorino Romano cheese
1# elbow macaroni Sour cream for garnish, optional
I sometimes add cubed cooked ham




1. Heat oven to 375 degrees. Butter a 3-quart casserole dish; set aside. Place the bread in a medium bowl. In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt 2 tablespoons butter. Pour butter into bowl with bread, and toss. Set the bread crumbs aside.

2. In a medium saucepan set over medium heat, heat the milk. Melt remaining 6 tablespoons butter in a medium pot over medium heat. When butter bubbles, add flour. Cook, stirring, 1 minute.

3. While whisking, slowly pour in hot milk. Continue cooking, whisking constantly, until the mixture bubbles and becomes thick.

4. Remove the pan from the heat. Stir in salt, nutmeg, black pepper, cayenne pepper, 3 cups cheddar cheese, and 1 1/2 cups Gruyère or 1 cup pecorino Romano; set cheese sauce aside.

5. Fill a large saucepan with water; bring to a boil. Add macaroni; cook 2 to 3 minutes less than manufacturer’s directions, until the outside of pasta is cooked and the inside is underdone. (Different brands of macaroni cook at different rates; be sure to read the instructions.) Transfer the macaroni to a colander, rinse under cold running water, and drain well. Stir macaroni into the reserved cheese sauce.

6. Pour mixture into prepared dish. Sprinkle remaining 1 1/2 cups cheddar cheese and1/2 cup Gruyère or 1/4 cup pecorino Romano, and bread crumbs over top. Bake until browned on top, 45 to 60 minutes. Transfer dish to a wire rack to cool for 5 minutes. Serve garnished with sour cream if desired.

2 pounds of Asparagus(I tend to buy 3 pounds because so much of the stalk is useless)
6 hard boiled eggs (sliced)
2 ounce or 5 ounce jar of pimento(drained)(Depends on how much you like)(I use the small jar)
1 can Cream of Mushroom Soup
2 Tablespoons of Lemon Juice
8 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese. (Your choice on mild or sharp)(I don't like sharp so tend to use the mild)

Cut off the stalks and boil the asparagus until tender. When tender enough put asparagus into some very ice cold water to stop the cooking process. Let sit for a minute or so. Drain really good.
When drained put Asparagus into the bottom of a small casserole dish(You can coat the dish with a little non-stick spray. I use just a little butter).
Top the asparagus with the slices of egg.
Top the eggs with the drained Pimento.
In a separate bowl mix the Cream of Mushroom Soup and the Lemon Juice. You can add a little pepper or even a little cayenne if you like.
Spread this over the pimento.
Now just spread your Cheddar Cheese over the whole casserole.
Sprinkle some Paprika over the cheese and bake.
Bake at 350* for about 30-40 minutes.
I cook this on the very top rack of my oven.

I know it sounds like a strange combination, but if you love asparagus like we do I think you will like this.

Beef Taco Bake

Prep: 10 minutes
Bake: 30 minutes

1 pound ground beef
1 can (10 3/4 ounces) Campbell's® Condensed Tomato Soup (regular or 25% Less Sodium)
1 cup Pace® Chunky Salsa OR Pace® Picante Sauce
1/2 cup milk
6 flour tortillas (8-inch) OR 8 corn tortilla (6-inch), cut into 1-inch pieces

Cook the beef in a 10-inch skillet over medium-high heat until it's well browned, stirring often. Pour off any fat.

Stir the soup, salsa, milk, tortillas and half the cheese in the skillet. Spoon the beef mixture into a 2-quart shallow baking dish. Cover the baking dish.

Bake at 400°F. for 30 minutes or until the beef mixture is hot and bubbly. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese.

[PatC]

AmyE I make something like this but I season the ground beef while it's cooking with chili powder and extra cumin... or a packet of taco seasoning... and brown some diced onions with it.

That sounds really good. I will add those next time I make it. Thanks for giving me the idea. :party52: I love Casseroles. I make a jalepeno chicken casserole that is wonderful.

Cooked chicken breast, instant rice, cream of mushroom soup, spinach, jalepenos, crushed tortillas chips, and shredded cheese. Layer it as I have in order and bake till rice is done. Add chips and cheese about 5 minutes before done.

That was off the top of my head as I am too lazy to go get my recipe card dug up.

Sound good, but I'd have to skip the jalapenos... neither DH nor I have much tolerance for hot. At least not in food. :s1gyahoo:

[Oceanblueeyes]

Did you try The Cabbage Casserole? What did you think? It is one of my families favorites.

I made it tonight 5boxersmom and it was delicious. My husband had two plates full so I guess he liked it too.:s1gyahoo:

A lot of these recipes sound great. I am going to have to try more of them.

I usually make up my own recipes but then if I go to make them again I cant quite remember exactly what I put in them when I made them before. lol

imoo

[PatC]

I made this last night and it came out really good so I wanted to write it down before I forget what I did.

1 1/2 lbs. ground beef
1 pkg. taco seasoning
2 tsp. ground cumin
2 Tblsp. chili powder
2 sweet onions diced
1 can black beans
1-1 1/2 cups whole kernal corn
1 sm. can hot dog sauce
1/2 jar salsa
1-2 cups shredded cheese
8 small corn tortillas

1. Brown the ground beef with about half the diced onions, the ground cumin and chili powder and taco seasoning. Drain any excess grease.

2. Spread 1/2 the beef mixture in the bottom of a 9 x 13 casserole dish.

3. Drain and rinse the black beans and spread over beef.

4. Add a layer of whole kernal corn.

5. Top with a layer of corn tortillas. I used two whole ones then had to tear two more to fill in the blanks.

6. Spread the rest of the meat over the tortillas.

7. Top with about 1/2 jar of salsa then spread the can of hot dog sauce over that.

8. Top with shredded cheese. (used a mixture of cheddar and Monterrey Jack)

9. Cover with foil (I spray the foil lightly with Pam so it won't stick) and bake at 350 degrees for 35-40 minutes.

I served with sides of the rest of the diced onions, the rest of the salsa, sour cream and taco chips.

Maybe I was just hungry last night, but I thought it was pretty darn good. (If I'd had a can of Ro-tel Tomatoes I'd have used that instead of the hot dog sauce.)

[AmyE]

That sounds really good PatC. This will be on my list to cook.

Try it (or something similar) AmyE. It was something I dreamed up as I went thinking about your recipe posted earlier and what left overs I had. LOL

Thanks!!
