Casserole Craziness

It's been a busy day so far!  I spent the morning making food to take some friends of ours who just had a baby.  All of the recipes are very easy.  Here's what I've made:



Chicken Tetrazzini
1 16 oz box spaghetti
1 cup onion, diced
1 cup green pepper, diced
3 Tbsp butter
2 cans cream of mushroom soup
1 soup can of milk
4 cups Monterey Jack cheese
5 1/2 cups cooked, chopped chicken
salt and pepper


Cook spaghetti.  While spaghetti is cooking, saute onion and green pepper in butter.  Drain spaghetti.  Mix all ingredients with spaghetti in a very large bowl.  Makes 2 9x13 casseroles.  Bake at 400 degrees for 30 minutes.


What I like best about this recipe is that it makes A LOT! That means an extra dish to take to someone, or to stick in the freezer for later.  J



Corn Souffle
1 can whole kernel corn, drained
1 can of cream style corn
1 stick butter, melted
2 eggs, beaten
1 cup sour cream
1 box Jiffy corn muffin mix


Mix all ingredients together well.  Pour into greased, round oven proof casserole dish.  Bake uncovered in 350 oven for 1 hour.


This corn souffle is soooo good!  It rises very high in the oven, so be sure not to put it on the top rack, unless you want to be scraping souffle off your oven! 


Broccoli Casserole
1 package chopped broccoli, frozen
1/2 can cream of mushroom soup
1/2 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated
1 egg, well beaten
1/2 cup sour cream or mayonnaise
1 T. grated onion
1/2 cheese cracker crumbs
salt and pepper


Cook broccoli 5 minutes.  Drain well.  Combine other ingredients, except cracker crumbs, with broccoli.  Pour into casserole and sprinkle crumbs over top.  Bake at 400 degrees for 20 minutes.


This recipe is from my mom and is tried and true!  In other words, you can't go wrong with this one.


One good thing about all of these recipes is that you can easily make lower fat versions of all of them by simply using reduced fat sour cream and reduced fat cheese.  I always use the Campbell's Healthy Request condensed soups.  


I also made some of those scrumptious pumpkin muffins to take along.  Now I just have to resist the temptation to eat one myself!


Until next time,
