I wanted to throw a casserole party for one of our FR moms. For those of you that dont know what a casserole shower is...I will explain. :) Please post a casserole recipe that is easily made and frozen so when the baby makes their welcomed appearance Mom can have some help with some easy and good food to make for herself and her family. This is a baby shower/casserole shower people. It's time for some recipes and really cute pics. :) Have Fun!
2 cups cooked rice
2 cups cooked chicken, shredded (hamburger is good as well)
1 (14 1/2 ounce) can tomato sauce
1 (1 1/4 ounce) envelope taco seasoning
1 (15-30 ounce) can refried beans
1 1/2 cups cheese, grated
1 cup tomatoes, chopped
1 cup guacamole (use to your preference)
sour cream (use to your preference)
1 small can of chopped black olives
5 cups tortilla chips
Mix taco seasoning and tomato sauce.
Add shredded chicken and coat it well with tomato mixture.
Place cooked rice in the bottom of a 13 X 9 X 2 or disposable baking pan.
Top with chicken mixture.
Top with 1-2 cans of refried beans so you have a nice even coating.
Freeze in the disposable pan or pop out and put in freezer bag.
Place casserole back in a casserole pan when ready to cook
After thawing top with grated cheese.
Bake uncovered for 30 to 45 minutes at 350F or until hot all the way through and the cheese is nice and bubbly.
Top with above condiments (sour cream, olives, guacamole, tomato, and green onions are good as well)and dip with tortilla chips!
good Luck! I hope you dont mind that I did this..I know we havent talked that much online. But I know what its like to have to get ready for the new addition. Congratulations! :)
casserole party ping! I posted this idea earlier on the Freeper Table Thread...I thought it would be a good friday night/weekend thread to start. Congrats SamIAm on baby number 3! :)

Amazing. I'm boomarking!
Thank you Lady...I will see if I can find a few people to ping.
What's a casserole party?
Here's one:
Vegetable Casserole
INGREDIENTS:
* 8 large eggplants
* 8 large potatoes
* 8 green bell peppers
* 8 large onions
* 8 summer squash
* 6 tomatoes
* 1 pound fresh green beans
* 1 pound whole fresh mushrooms
* 2 bulbs garlic, cloves separated and peeled
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill weed
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
* 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil
* 1 (15 ounce) can tomato sauce
* 3/4 cup olive oil
* salt and pepper to taste
DIRECTIONS:
1. Prepare the eggplant before assembling ingredients, by cutting them into 2 inch chunks and putting them into an extra large bowl with salted water to cover. This will draw out the bitterness from the eggplant. Let this sit for about 3 hours.
2. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
3. Cut the potatoes, green bell peppers, onion, squash and tomatoes into 2-inch chunks. Cut the green beans and mushrooms in half and peel the garlic cloves.
4. Drain and rinse the eggplant, then combine it with all the other chopped vegetables, the dill, oregano and basil and place all into a 3x13x18 inch roasting pan. Pour the tomato sauce and olive oil over all.
5. Bake at 375 degrees F (190 degrees C) for 2 1/2 hours, adding a little water about halfway through cooking time to keep moist.
This is not a casserole, but a delicious soup that freezes well.
Tortilla Soup
8 ounces carrots, diced
8 ounces celery
8 ounces onions
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
salt and pepper
2 tablespoons corn or olive oil
4 cans chicken broth
1 can tomatoes, diced
1 can Rotel tomatoes & chilies, Diced
1 (1.25-1 1/2 ounce) packet taco seasoning
1 (10 count) package corn tortillas, broken into small pieces (or you can use taco shells, broken in to small pieces)
12 ounces chicken meat, diced, poached or grilled fajita meat (I use the leftover chicken from when I roast a chicken or buy roasted chicken.)
1 cup milk
12 ounces monterey jack cheese, shredded
corn tortilla chips, broken into small pieces
6 servings
1 hour
1. Saute carrots, onions, celery in oil, Garlic Powder, Salt and Pepper until tender.
2. Add chicken broth and bring to boil.
3. Add tomatoes, Rotel, taco seasoning, and chicken.
4. Cut Tortillas into small pieces and add to broth mixture.
5. Let boil for 20 minutes or until tortillas are thoroughly incorporated into soup stirring occasionally to keep from sticking.
6. Reduce heat and add 8 oz. cheese. Simmer for additional 10 minutes.
7. Add milk and simmer for additional 10 minutes.
8. If thicker soup is desired, add more diced tortillas and let incorporate into soup.
9. Garnish with shredded cheese and broken tortilla chips.
A casserole party is something that I was invited to for a friend of mine who was pregnant with her second son (hence the lack of need for blue baby booties). What she needed was some help with food for the rest of the family after baby #2 made his welcomed appearance. So we had an easy casserole shower. We brought casseroles and easy meals that could be frozen and heated in an oven for her to help with dinner when sleep deprivation kicked in. :) She loved it! I thought I would pass on the good cheer to the soon to be new FR Mom via casseroles. :)
That's so cool. I'll have to remember that.
