Yu-um.
…like this delicious casserole I fixed for supper last night. We’re in a rut food-wise, so I decided to try a little something different. Seymour sometimes gets a little nervous when I start experimenting in the kitchen (and after the lasagna casserole incident, I suppose I can’t blame him, but I still say my pepperoni, green onion, and parsley pizza rocks), but this recipe – which I made up as I went along – was a bona fide crowd-pleaser (Bubbles cheered when I told him I wrote down what I did so I could duplicate the results).
So, without further ado, my recipe for Comfort Casserole (so called because it just felt comfort foody):
8 oz. sour cream
1 can (10 ¾ oz.) cream of mushroom soup
½ can milk
2 lbs. hamburger
Onion flakes
1 can corn
1 c. shredded cheddar cheese
3 tubes (7.5 oz.) buttermilk biscuits
In a medium bowl, combine sour cream, mushroom soup, and milk. Mix well; set aside. Brown hamburger together with onion flakes; drain. Combine with corn. Preheat oven to 350°F. Coat a 9×13″ pan with nonstick spray. Add hamburger mixture, then cheese, then sauce. Spread sauce till evenly distributed. Top with biscuits. Bake 35-45 minutes or till biscuits are done.
Comfort Casserole. Yum yummy!
So, there you have it. Not too shabby, if I do say so myself, though I did think about adding green beans or hash browns or something. I think a few more veggies might make a tasty addition, but then the sauce might need to be, uh, more. You know, maybe use a whole can of milk instead of just a half can. If you try it, let me know what you think!

Looks great. We don’t do much – make that any cooking in our house, but I’ve copied the recipe for when we do. It’s bound to be some time this year.

We’ve done too little cooking lately ourselves, and it seems like we eat the same few dishes over and over again, so I had a lot of fun trying something new. I used to really enjoy cooking, but I think that was before I had to do it all the time. You know, before I had kids. 😉
If you do get around to trying it, I hope you enjoy it and I hope you’ll let me know what you think! It really didn’t take too long to put together, except for deciding what to put in it. Maybe I should have called it Dump Casserole instead, since all I did was dump stuff into it? 😀

We have a similar dish to that in England, although a lot cruder than yours. It’s called Bubble and Squeak. Everything that’s in danger of going stale goes in the pot and fried or boiled.
Nach, I always use far too much garlic and chilli.

I’ve had Bubble and Squeak, I think. A friend of mine has a bunch of international cookbooks and I think that was one of the recipes we tried once upon a time. It wasn’t bad.
I’ve been accused of over-seasoning my spaghetti sauce. But really, Prego needs a little more kick, so then the basil, parsley, and garlic find their way into the pot.

Because of my job, I’m not allowed to eat garlic. So you can imagine how much I throw on my food when I have a couple of days off work. Plus all the chilli I grow in my garden.

I’m not much for spicy. A little kick is good, but not too much. And I feel the same about garlic (though apparently my definition of “too much” and “not enough” differs slightly from my family’s.

Did you mean trowel? a towel is for sunbathing – something we never get to do over here.

No, no – I meant towel. Trowels are for gardening, something I’m far too lazy to do. And if I did somehow acquire the ambition to indulge in gardening, it wouldn’t go well anyway, thanks to my black thumb.

You and me both. The closest I get to gardening these days is avoiding the nettles as I leave the house.

I’ll get round to that as well, the very moment can no longer think of any crucial reasons not to- like “what’s the point, the end of the earth is next week”.
I tried that and beloved just smiled nastily. I should have begun with something gentle like my foot got eaten by a wolf, and worked my way up. now I’ve not nowhere to go.

There’s always alien invasions, zombie attacks, and the like to worry about. That would keep me from mowing the lawn, anyway (or it would if I believed in such things as zombies, or thought for a moment that some alien race was likely to want to conquer us, which I’m sure they don’t).
