\"The

The Best I Ever Made<\/p><\/div>\n

Here I go again with another casserole.  Maybe I should rename my blog site to “Casseroles for you and me”.  I can’t help it.  Having a casserole in the freezer makes me a “happy gal”.  I don’t have to worry “what’s for dinner”.  This is one of my go to casseroles.  It is so easy and kids to adults love it.  I’ll bet you will be like me and want to eat all the topping, right out of the bowl.  Yum!!!   Make one tonight, but you know me, make two or three – one for your family, one for the freezer and one to share.  The picture below shows an afternoon of cooking I did last week.   My nephew and his sweet wife had a new baby boy, Maddox.  So, since what I do is cook, I made casseroles.   Now, when they are tired and no one is bringing dinner, they can pop one in the oven and dinner is ready.   The great thing about making casseroles and delivering them frozen is that you can cook on your time schedule and they can heat and enjoy them on their time schedule.  Easy for all.   Who do you know that you can share the joy of “dinner is ready” with a casserole for their freezer or dinner that night?  Be a Blessing!<\/p>\n

      Notes<\/div>\t\t\t
        \t\t\t\t
      1. If you are planning on freezing the casserole make sure to use a freezer and baking safe dish.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      2. Cook completely before freezing.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      3. To reheat: Cover lightly with foil and bake at 350 degrees for 30 to 35 minutes if thawed.<\/li>\t\t\t\t
      4. If frozen it will take longer - more like 45 minutes. Cook until hot and bubbly.<\/li>\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>
