Quick and Easy Thanksgiving Cassarole

Back when we lived in Wisconsin, in the mid-80's, Nelson bought me several cassarole cookbooks and told me that cassaroles were his favorite meals. Growing up we never ate cassaroles. I learned to make three dishes and rotated them in with the few other things I was brave enough to cook. Tonight I added another to my ever-expanding recipe list.

In a 2qt microwavable cassarole dish mix one box of Stove Top Stuffing. Next put down a layer of turkey. I used white meat that I had left over from Thanksgiving and kept in my freezer for such an occasion. How much turkey depends on how much you want. Next put down a layer of green beans. I used two cans. Next put a layer of mushroom soup. I used one can. I next made a layer of instant mashed potatoes. I had two cups of flakes in the box so I fixed those. I then topped off the dish with a layer of Durkee's Onions.



We don't add salt or pepper when we cook, partly because in prepared foods there is already a high level of sodium. I didn't add any and found it to be well seasoned. The only thing I might do differently is add some shredded cheese to go with the bean layer. Nelson loved it and Asher ate an entire dish himself. This is definitely a do again at our house.
