What are some great but easy casserole dishes?

Answer 1

Answer 2

Here are a few of my favorites.

CREAMY CHICKEN AND RICE

2 bags Success rice

4 c. chopped chicken

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 c. sour cream

1 c. milk

2 c. grated cheese

Spread rice in buttered 9 x 13 inch dish. Blend chicken, soups, sour cream, milk, and 1 cup of cheese. Spread over rice and bake for 20 minutes at 350 degrees. Top with remaining cheese and heat until melted. Let sit for 5 minutes before serving.

Four-Cheese Chicken Alfredo

1 cup refrigerated four-cheese Alfredo sauce

1-1/4 cups milk

2 Tbsp. KRAFT 100% Grated Parmesan Cheese

1 tsp. parsley flakes

1/4 tsp. garlic powder

1 pkg. (9 oz.) refrigerated fettuccine, uncooked

5 small boneless skinless chicken breast halves (1-1/4 lb.)

1 cup KRAFT Shredded Mozzarella Cheese

PREHEAT oven to 400°F. Mix Alfredo sauce and milk in medium saucepan; bring just to boil on medium-high heat, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, mix Parmesan cheese, parsley and garlic powder until well blended; set aside.

SPRAY 13x9-inch baking dish with cooking spray. Separate fettuccine noodles; place in prepared dish. Pour Alfredo sauce mixture over noodles; press noodles into sauce to completely coat noodles with sauce. Top with chicken. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese mixture and the mozzarella cheese.

BAKE 30 min. or until chicken is cooked through (170ºF). Let stand 5 min. before serving.

Baked Chicken and Rice

1 c. plain white rice

1 large pkg. of chicken pieces (legs, b*****s, leg quarters)

1 can cream of chicken soup

1 envelope of dry onion soup mix

2 soup cans of water

Directions:

In a large greased covered casserole, place 1 cup plain ole white rice. No instant, no parboiled, just plain rice. Add a layer of chicken parts. This is great for those weeks when chicken parts are on sale, like legs, b*****s or quarters. Over the chicken and rice, pour a mixture of 1 can cream of chicken soup, 1 envelope of dry onion soup mix, and almost 2 cans of water. Use the soup can to measure. This mixture looks disgusting but that's temporary. Then just put the whole thing, covered, in a 350 oven for AT LEAST 1 hour and 20 minutes. Don't try to shorten it; the chicken will be pink if you do.

It is very easy to double this recipe, and it doesn't take any longer to cook doubled!! You don't have to stir it, brown the chicken, or any of the other troublesome time consuming things that most recipes ask you to do. Your children will love this, and probably your husband too. If you have more than 2 children, I would definitely

double the recipe!! Oh, BTW, I did like to remove the skin from the chicken. It looks neater, unless you really like chicken skin.

Beef and Rice Casserole

1 lb ground beef (browned and drained)

2 envelopes brown gravy mix

Water (as needed on gravy mix package)

1 c. rice (cooked)

add onion powder and garlic salt to taste

Directions:

Cook rice according to package directions while browning your ground beef (you can also use ground turkey).

Drain ground beef and add gravy mix and amount of water called for in 2 packages of mix. Stir over medium heat till thickened. Add cooked rice to beef and gravy mixture. Stir together, add salt and pepper to taste.

Variations:

Add cooked macaroni or egg noodles instead of rice. Stir in cooked vegetables (broccoli is excellent), mushooms and/or a splash of soy sauce for extra flavor.

Chili Cheese Cornbread

2 cans chili w/beans

Cheese (shredded or sliced)

1 box Jiffy cornbread mix

1 egg

1/3 c. milk

Directions:

Spread chili in a greased 8x11 dish. Top with cheese. Stir milk and egg into cornbread mix and spread on top. Bake at 375 degrees or until golden brown and cornbread is done.

Classic Baked Penne Casserole

8 ounces of Penne pasta, cooked and drained

1/2 pound ground beef, cooked and drained (add some spices while cooking if desired)

1 26-ounce jar of your favorite pasta sauce (or about 3 cups of your homemade sauce)

2 c. Mozzarella cheese, shredded (you can also add a little parmesan cheese if you have it on hand)

Parsley, dried or fresh and chopped

Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

* Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

* In a large bowl, mix together cooked pasta, beef, sauce and 1 c. of the shredded cheese.

* Place pasta mixture into baking dish and cover with lid or aluminum foil. Bake for 30-35 minutes.

* Take dish out of the oven and remove cover, top with remaining 1 c. of shredded cheese and sprinkle with parsley. Bake for another 8-10 minutes.

Makes 4-6 servings. This recipe can be double easily and cooked in a 10x13 baking pan.

Tater-Tot Casserole

2 lbs. extra lean ground beef

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1 (2 pound) bag frozen tater tots

1 cup grated cheddar cheese

Directions

Pat ground beef into bottom of greased 13x9x2-inch pan. Spread soup over meat and cover with grated cheese. Top with tater tots. Bake at 350 degrees, covered for 45 minutes and then uncovered for 15 minutes

All-in-One Box Dinners

1 pound chicken b*****s, about 3 large 4 small b*****s (you can get a bag of skinless boneless chicken b*****s for a reasonable price, but its not really that hard to skin and de-bone b*****s which will save you a good bit of money)

1 small can cream of mushroom soup (or cream of chicken, any variety of creamy soup works but make sure the flavor is one you enjoy because it will be a main taste in this meal--my family likes chicken, mushroom, and celery but cheese and broccoli struck out)

1/2 cup milk

1 box stuffing mix (any brand, any variety- I use store brands and whatever kind comes to my hand first)

1 T. butter or margarine

1/4 c. boiled water (micro waving the water and butter is convenient - more water for softer stuffing)

Shredded cheese optional, for appearance

Directions:

Prepare a 9x13 casserole dish with cooking spray. Mix milk and soup thoroughly in bottom of dish, place raw, cleaned, de-boned and de-skinned chicken breast in soup mixture, mixture should cover chicken just slightly. In a separate bowl mix water and butter gradually with stuffing mix, stir until moist, put stuffing on top of chicken.

Cover with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until chicken is done (use a meat thermometer to be sure). Remove foil. Add cheese if desired, and wait until melted, or place back in oven until crispy.

350 F for 1 hour.

Serving suggestions: Mexicorn and Mexican rice.

Super Broccoli Casserole

2 boxes or 1 bag frozen, chopped broccoli, cooked and drained

2 eggs beaten

1 sml onion, minced

1 can cream of mushroom soup

¾ cup mayonnaise

1 cup grated cheddar, jack, or mozzarella cheese

1 cup cracker crumbs

¼ cup butter

Mushroom Chicken

4 boneless or bone-in chicken b*****s

1 can cream of mushroom soup

1-8 oz container of sour cream (regular or light)

2/3 cup sherry

1 cup sliced mushrooms (optional)

1 tsp garlic salt

pepper to taste

Mix together everything but the chicken in a bowl. Pour half or the sauce in a casserole dish. Add chicken b*****s and top with remaining sauce. Bake at 350F for 1 hour.

Serving suggestions: Mashed potatoes with sauce as gravy or red potatoes, vegetable, and Hawaiian rolls. Can be made in crock pot. Add sauce to the pot then add the chicken, coat with remainder of sauce. Cook on low for 3-4 hours.

Overnight Hashed Brown Potato Casserole

Ingredients:

(8 servings)

2 lb Frozen hashed brown potatoes

1/4 lb Butter

1 pt Sour cream

1 can Mushroom soup

8 oz Cheddar cheese; shredded

1 Onion; grated or 1 T. instant minced onion

3/4 c Milk* (optional)

Instructions:

Cut butter into potatoes. Mix rest of ingredients together; pour over top of potatoes. Toss. *1/4 - 3/4 c. milk can be used in place of one-half of the sour cream. It will make a moister casserole, if desired. Bake in a 13x9" pan at 350 for 1/2 hr covered and an additional 1/2 hr. uncovered. I have used Cheddar Cheese soup, but reduce the butter as it will be greasy with both. I also put additional shredded cheese on top during the second half hour of baking. Doubles well. Can be refrigerated overnight after mixing all together.
