Now that cooler weather has arrived my husband and I have decided that we will have a casserole dish once a week. We never had casseroles growing up (my mom doesn't like them) so I have never really tried them. If you have a favorite casserole recipe and would like to share I would appreciate it. I have looked on the internet but it is always nice to have a recipe that someone has tried and knows that it is good.

Smoked Sausage and Cheesy Potato Casserole 1 pound pre-cooked smoked sausage, cut into fairly thick slices, 4 Cans sliced potatoes drained well, 8-12 ounce pkg. shredded sharp cheddar cheese (depends on how cheesy you want it), 1 can of cream of mushroom soup, 1/2 can of milk (use soup can to measure), mix milk and soup together, layer potatoes, sausage, cheese and sauce in alternating layers, ending in cheese, in baking dish. Bake at 350 for 30 minutes or so til hot through and cheese is melted. You can peel and slice fresh potatoes if you prefer, but add extra 1/2 can of milk and bake longer til potatoes are done. This can be done on top of the stove or in a crockpot also and is really good warmed up as a leftover.

I have two that come to mind as "tried and true"... the first is what I call a kid friendly casserole (though all us adults like it too).. if fact, my children who are now 17 & 20 still want this as their "comfort" food. When they were litte, and in that "picky, I won't eat anything you put on my plate" stage, this was one of the only things I could get them to eat. It's named for my dad, who the called "PawPaw"
PawPaw's Casserole:
Brown 1 1/2 lbs. ground meat (you can use beef, chicken, pork, whatever)
Cook one 1 lb. package of elbow macaroni noodles - drain
1 jar (drained sliced mushrooms)
salt and pepper to taste
add a little bit of italian seasonings (basil, oregano, parsley)
1/2 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1 to 1 1/2 cans tomatoe soup
Mix everything together. Pour into greased (just spray it with Pam) casserole dish and cover top with more shredded cheddar cheese.
Bake at 350 for about 45 minutes until hot & bubbly and cheese is melted. Yumm!Realize, that you can vary this recipe many ways - use italian sausage instead of beef; use fontina cheese instead of chedder; use anything fresh to kick it up - fresh sauteed mushroom & onions; fresh herbs; make your own gourmet tomatoe sauce from scratch and stir in a tablespoon of marscapone cheese to make it creamy .... make it as simple or as gourmet as you like, but trust me... the kids (and hubby or partner) will too!
My second is my kick on cauliflower. It's such a bland veggie that I think it gets pushed under the bus way too much!! Here's my take:
Cauliflower Gratin:
In a stock pot, boil 4 cups of water with 1 large smoked ham hoc, 4 sprigs fresh thyme and 2 chicken boulion cubes for at least 30 min. (I usually put mine on and do stuff for an hour or so.. the longer you cook your stock, the more flavor)
Once your stock is ready, put your washed & cut up cauliflower in and boil until tender - about 20 minutes. Drain well
In a small sauce pan slowly heat 1 cup milk, 1/2 stick butter, 1/4 tsp. pepper, 1/2 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. fresh grated nutmeg. When it's at a slow boil, add 2 tlb. flour while whisking because sauce will thicken. Then add 2/3 cup grated fontina cheese while stiring. This will give you a thick, creamy beschemel (sp?) or rather cheese sauce.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked cauliflower with the cheese sauce and pour into a well greased casserole dish.
Top with a mixture of 1/2 stick melted butter and one sleeve crushed ritz crackers.
Bake 350 for 40 minutes ---- this is a great Thanksgiving dish - a new twist!! -

Not a casserole, but a super cold weather recipe (and what hubby made yesterday):
Green Chile Stew
2 lbs. ground beef
1 13 oz. pkg frozen green chiles (we use jarred instead)
3 large potatoes, diced
1 16 oz can stewed tomatoes (has anyone noticed that the cans now come in 14.5 oz?)
4 C. cooked pinto beans in the water they were cooked in
2 Tbl. garlic powder
1Tbl. onion powder
pinch of saltBrown and drain ground beef. Add to cooked pinto beans. Add potatoes, chiles, tomatoes & spices. Cook until potatoes are tender, approx. 1 hr.
We love this stuff so much, the last time we were in Albuquerque we shipped about 2 dozen jars of chiles home, and carried more home in our luggage (I was SO afraid the jars were going to break).
