Saturday Dishes - Casseroles

This week's theme is:

Casseroles

Casseroles tend to be my go-to meal more often than not.
Why, you ask?
I don't feel like I have to have a side with it,
We always have leftovers so I get a free day from cooking later that week,
& my kids always seem to enjoy them!

If you're new to the party

welcome to Saturday Dishes
where every week is a new theme...

Your job is to post your recipes that coincide with that theme!

Easy peasy, right?

Last week's theme was Warm Drinks & Snacks!
Here were some of my faves...

Because I know I'm going to want hot chocolate this weekend while we get 6-9" of snow...

French Vanilla Hot Chocolate from The Mad Mommy

This sounds rich & delish (:

Gingerbread Hot Chocolate from A Life in Balance

I've never tried gingerbread hot chocolate before,

but I'm sure the molasses & spices make it taste wonderful!

Snowball Hot Chocolate from Bitz & Giggles

Why have I never thought to try ice cream in hot chocolate before?

This is great!

& because it's Super Bowl weekend I thought I'd feature these as well...

21 Great Dips & Appetizers for Super Bowl Sunday from Toot Sweet 4 Two

Those BBQ Beef Sliders looked pretty tasty...

Impossible Pizza Rolls from Food for Dissertating

Don't let the name fool you.

They should be called 'Simple & Delicious Pizza Rolls'

Oh yeah...

Easy Cheesy White Chicken Enchilada Casserole

A few months ago,

my friend Lisa from Pebbles & Piggytails posted a recipe

for Easy Chicken Tortilla Casserole on her blog.

We tried it for dinner a while back & absolutely loved it!

My pregnant mind started thinking of different variations of it that we could try since it's so simple...

Hubby even had an awesome idea that I'm going to withhold for now

since I'm sure I'll post about it later!

This dinner was another one of those weird pregnancy thoughts

that turned out to be wonderfully delicious!

Easy Chicken Tortilla Casserole meets Cheesy White Chicken Enchiladas.

They fall madly in love.

Easy Cheesy.

25-30 corn tortillas

2 cups cooked chicken (diced or shredded)

1 pint heavy whipping cream

1 cup sour cream

1/4 cup water

1 1/2 tsp chicken base

1 can diced green chiles

3/4 cup cheddar cheese separated (1/2 cup & 1/4 cup)

2 cups monterey jack cheese

Chop tortillas into bite sized pieces. Heat water with chicken base in the microwave 30 seconds at a time until chicken base is fully melted. Mix together heavy whipping cream, sour cream, & chicken base melted in water. Add chicken, green chiles, 1/2 cup cheddar cheese, & tortillas then mix well. Pour mixture into a 9x13 casserole dish and sprinkle with monterey jack cheese & remaining 1/4 cup cheddar cheese. Bake at 350 degrees for 30-40 minutes until lightly browned.

Breakfast Casserole

We eat this yummy Breakfast Casserole & Pull-A-Part Bread for breakfast every LDS General Conference weekend & Christmas!

1 bag frozen hash browns (shredded)

2 cups shredded cheese (I use more)

2 cups heavy cream

1 tsp salt

1/2 tsp garlic or onion salt

bacon, ham, sausage, beaten eggs, & other things typically found in omelettes (optional)

Put the potatoes in a greased 9x13 pan. Sprinkle the grated cheese & seasonings over the potatoes. Then pour the cream on top. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45-60 minutes.

Note: Mix the bacon, ham, sausage, beaten eggs, & other mix-ins with the potatoes prior to the cheese & cream if you want them in your casserole.

Both the Breakfast Casserole & Pull-A-Part Bread are delicious enough on their own,

but personally, I feel like they need to be served together.

It could just be the tradition factor of always having them together that is making me say that,

but every time I make one without the other I feel like something is missing.

Breakfast Casserole is the best friend to the sweet & sugary Pull-A-Part Bread.
It's kind of like that saying, "You're the peanut butter to my jelly."
You can't have one without the other.
Well, technically you can...
but your taste buds may disagree.
