VMBURNS: My mom didn't make a lot of casseroles when I was growing up. In fact, I can probably count on one hand the number that she did make. As an adult, I discovered the wonders of a complete meal in one dish aka casseroles. Meat, potatoes, and cheese. How can this be bad? I added a salad and was a happy camper.

THE NEXT DEADLY CHAPTER
All Sam wanted was to make a good impression on her fiancé Frank’s mother, the very proper Dr. Camilia Patterson. But when Nano Jo and the lively ladies of Shady Acres Retirement Village throw a surprise bridal shower for Sam at the Four Feathers Casino—watch out! Things spin out of control faster than a roulette wheel. Fortunately, Sam knows when to fold ’em and slips back to her room to work on her latest historical mystery set between the wars, in which a houseguest meets a grim end at an English country manor.
The morning after brings another rude surprise. Sam gets a frantic call from Camilia, who’s discovered a dead body in her room. Now winning over her soon-to-be mother-in-law means keeping the good doctor out of a potential scandal and attempting to discreetly solve a murder without ruffling any feathers. For that she’ll need the help of Nano Jo—not exactly the soul of discretion—Detective “Stinky” Pitt, and the ladies—because the casino killer keeps upping the ante. . .

Oh, this is comfort food for sure! Thank you so much for sharomg thos recipe, Valerie!!! JOY! Luis at ole dot travel
ReplyDeleteOh so many choices! Shepherd's Pie is a family favorite. I often make it with turkey and dressing as the base instead of a crust. Tuna noodle casserole is another. My mom used to make what she called goulash, with some kind of pasta, tomatoes, ground beef and cheese. I love one pot or dish dinners! This one sounds tasty! Thanks.
ReplyDeleteMy problem with casseroles is when they are ready to go into the oven it seems like it should be time to eat. All that prep should produce a finished product!
ReplyDelete"Mix the cream of mushroom soup and mil in a separate bowl" Milk, I bet.
Tuna casserole is a family favorite, though it varies slightly each time I make it. I have swapped out the usual cream of mushroom soup for cream of celery because my husband doesn't like mushrooms. Sometimes it's elbow macaroni, sometimes it's shells. Sometimes I add sweet red peppers and/or onions that I precook to soften. The hamburger casserole sounds good. I bet it would work with cream of celery soup.
