/ck/ - Food & Cooking

my mom makes a porkchop casserole that's really good.

coin enough potatoes to cover the bottom of the dish, cover that with sliced onions, brown 6 chops and put on top of that and then cover the whole mess with 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup

bake that at 350 covered for 1 1/2 hrs and then uncovered for 1/2 hr.

delicious

Ingredients:
1lb ground beef
1 (1 ¼ ounce) package taco seasoning
1 (15 ounce) can refried beans
2 cups Colby jack cheese
1 cup salsa
1 (2 1/3 ounce) can sliced black olives (drained)
1 tomato (chopped)
2 cups corn chips (crushed)

Step 1: In a large skillet brown ground beef and drain. Add taco seasoning and cook according to package directions by adding the amount of water stated on the package. Set aside. Heat refried beans in a medium sauce pan over medium heat until hot. Stir in 1 cup of cheese and 1 cup of salsa. Stir until combined.
Step 2: Place crushed corn chips onto the bottom of an 8×8” casserole dish. Pour the bean mixture over the chips in the casserole dish. Add taco meat on top of the bean mixture. Sprinkle the remaining 1 cup of cheese on top of the taco meat. Sprinkle green onions and black olives over the cheese.
Step 3: Bake in the oven at 375 degrees until the cheese has melted and the casserole is heated through. Take out of the oven and sprinkle with chopped tomatoes.

I'll probably try that...thanks man

That sounds awesome. I abhor cottage cheese but I'm assuming it isn't nearly as bad when mixed in with all that.

Also do you guys ever use the word "hot dish" instead of "casserole", I hear that other parts of the country don't ever use that term and am curious if it's true

>>4375362

Hot dish is pretty much exclusive to the upper midwest.

>>4375367
i'm in chicago and i've only ever heard it called a hot dish on /ck/

>>4375367
Yea that's what I hear, but I don't get around much (MN here)

>>4375370
I always assumed that you guys called it hot dish too, interdasting

>>4375370

It's kind of an antiquated term that you don't hear much in the larger cities. Even in Minneapolis people will recognize the term, but few people except the older generation will use it in conversation. Go to a smaller town in MN, IA, or WI, and people will still say hot dish like it's normal.

>>4375382
Sounds about right. My wife considers it an antique regional term from her childhood (she grew up in WI). Her mother lives in a small town and still uses it.

>>4375367
green bean casserole? if so, feed me please. thank you.

>>4375420
It's the best part of Thanksgiving for me.

>>4375362

i fucking love green bean casserole

>pepperoni pizza casserole

Oh my god

I have never considered this before

I WILL make this sometime soon, OP, thank you. Probably gonna replace the cottage cheese with ricotta (because I hate cottage cheese).

Time to rev up those heart attacks gents.

>>4375313
I'm totally making this next week when I have money.

I already went shopping for this week ;_;

>Pizza Casserole

Chicago's failure.

I just made some pizza casserole with just the staple ingredients but also added a layer of Bisquick for a crust like thing goin' on.
Everybody went crazy for it; even my brother who doesn't ever eat dinner at home.

How come all the people who criticize deep dish have never even tried it?

It's some good stuff.

>>4375950

I criticize deep dish *because* I have tried it, and it fucking sucks. It's a chore to eat it. It's faaaar too much bread. Bread Bread Bread.

>>4375313
>pizza casserole
uh, you mean "lasagna"?

i really want to make casseroles but i am terrified of my gas range

>>4375313
that makes me want to have a heart attack

>>4375988
You sound like a faggot.

Every time I read the list of ingredients in one of these things I cringe. A package of this, a package of that, a jar of something else, and a can of soup.

Can't say I understand it. Is it some sort of comfort food thing?

>>4376109
Yeah, basically. One of my favorite comfort foods from my childhood is a casserole consisting of two canned items and a packaged frozen item. It's ghetto as fuck but it makes me happy.

>>4376109
you can easily make these things with "fresh" ingredients if you choose

>>4375988
well, obviously you haven't had real chicago deep dish, which merely uses the bread as a thin capture device for deliciousness.

>>4376165
What animal does a fresh pepperoni from and how do I cut it off?

Also, in many baked dishes, dried pasta stands up better during the baking.

But there are only three items in that list that could be replaced with "fresh" versions, and making marinara sauce from scratch to make this particular casserol kills much of the reason you would make it: very little prep time and you can throw out on the oven and forget it without that much improvement in flavor (and in the case of the pasta, a detriment to the texture).

I bet you also try to tell everyone that fresh herbs are always the way to go.

>>4376212
i wasn't knocking the casserole. its fine the way it is. he was the one being the faggot.

>>4376109
?

Casseroles are more party dishes,I thought. To feed large groups of people.

>>4375989
And with rigatoni instead of long wide flat, what are those noodles called?

>mfw all these great recipes but I have no 9x13
Fuck.
I'll probably resort to getting some cheap aluminum shit, unless I can find a good casserole dish under $10

>>4380318
Think i'll just stop by Goodwill on my day off wednesday. Usually find some cheap shit there that isn't 'too' terrible.
Found a really old looking, banged-up sauce pan for like $5 that I use all the time now.

>>4380322
this

i actually picked up some allclad stuff for like $2 each piece. stuff was just barely dinged up.
checked it out online and i got $400 worth of shit for $10

I remember making this sunday mornings for brunch. Reheats well for a quick lunch at work or at home. Recipe's mostly from memory.

Orzo sausage casserole

Cup of orzo
Pound of ground sausage meat
Small onion, chopped
One and a half cups of mozzarella, grated
Cup of ricotta
Half cup of fine bread crumbs
Teaspoon of that "italian seasoning" crap

Cook pasta, fry sausage and onion, mix everything together and bake for about twenty minutes at 425deg F. Makes like two litres or something.If you wanna be a faggot you can dust it with paprika like momma used to.

Bumping because i'm gonna write some of this shit down when I wake up in the morning.
That pizza casserole sounds fucking delicious
