Casseroles

cooking spray

 

4 cups shredded zucchini

 

1 onion, chopped

 

1 (8.5 ounce) package dry corn muffin mix

 

2 large eggs, beaten

 

½ teaspoon salt

 

¼ teaspoon ground black pepper

 

8 ounces Cheddar cheese, shredded

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Grease a 2-quart baking dish with cooking spray.

Mix together zucchini, onion, muffin mix, beaten eggs, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. Stir in 4 ounces cheese. Spread evenly into the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle with remaining 4 ounces cheese.

Bake in the preheated oven until the top is lightly browned and a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean, about 60 minutes.

1 pound bulk pork sausage

1 can (10-3/4 ounces) condensed cream of mushroom soup, undiluted

3/4 cup whole milk

1/4 cup chopped onion

1 tsp onion powder

1 tsp garlic powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

3 cups thinly sliced peeled potatoes (about 1-1/4 pounds)

1-2 cup shredded cheddar cheese

In a large skillet, cook sausage over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. In a large bowl, combine the soup, milk, onion, onion and garlic powder, salt and pepper.

In an sprayed 9 x 13-in. baking dish, layer half the potatoes, soup-sausage mixture and cheese,; repeat layers.

Cover and bake at 350° for 1-1/2 hours or until potatoes are tender.

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped(18)
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme, or 1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
2 teaspoons kosher salt, divided, plus more for seasoning
1 1/2 cups long-grain white rice
1 clove garlic, minced
2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
1 3/4 cups whole or 2% milk
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs, cut into bite-sized pieces
1 cup fresh or frozen peas
1 1/2 cups shredded sharp cheddar cheese, divided

Melt the butter in a large heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the onion,
thyme, and 1/2 teaspoon of the salt, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened,
about 8 minutes.
Add the rice and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until they smell toasty, about 1 minute.
Add the broth, milk, and remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons of salt, and season with pepper. Bring to a
boil, stirring occasionally so that the rice doesn't stick to the pot. Add the chicken, stir to
combine, and bring back to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the
liquid is absorbed and the rice is tender, about 15 minutes. (Add water as needed if the rice
absorbs it all before tender. If you'd like a browned top on the casserole, heat the broiler to high
now.)
Remove from the heat. Stir in the peas and 1 cup of the cheese. Taste and season with more salt
as needed. Sprinkle with the remaining 1/2 cup cheese, then cover again and let sit for the cheese
to melt and the rice to steam, about 5 minutes. (For a browned top, place under the broiler for a
few minutes until the cheese turns golden-brown in spots.) Serve immediately.

1 pound sage flavored breakfast sausage
3 cups shredded potatoes, drained and pressed
¼ cup butter, melted
1 (16 ounce) container small curd cottage cheese
12 ounces mild Cheddar cheese, shredded
½ cup onion, shredded
8 eggs

Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Lightly grease a 9×13-inch baking dish.

Heat a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Cook sausage in the hot skillet until evenly
browned and crumbly, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and discard grease.

Stir together shredded potatoes and butter in the prepared baking dish; lightly press mixture into
the bottom and sides of the dish. Mix together sausage, cottage cheese, Cheddar cheese, onion,
and eggs in a bowl. Pour over potato mixture.

Bake in the preheated oven until a toothpick inserted into the center of casserole comes out
clean, about 1 hour. Let cool for 5 minutes before serving

1 pound bacon, cut into small pieces
1/2 onion, finely chopped
1 clove garlic, minced
2/3 cup cornmeal
2/3 cup flour
1/4 cup sugar
1 tablespoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 cup sour cream
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 egg
one 15-ounce can corn, drained
one 15-ounce can cream-style corn
1 1/2 cups sharp white cheddar
Chopped chives

Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. In a pan over medium heat, fry the bacon pieces until crispy.
Remove from the pan, but leave some of the bacon grease to sauté the onions. Add the onions
and a sprinkle of salt to the pan and cook until softened. Add in the garlic and cook for another
minute. Take the pan off the heat. Chop the bacon into bits.
In a bowl, combine the cornmeal, flour, sugar, baking powder, and salt. In a separate bowl,
whisk the sour cream, butter, and egg until smooth. Then, stir in the corn, cream corn, the
onion mixture, half of the bacon. Add in the dry ingredients, and stir until just combined.
Pour into a greased casserole dish. Bake for 35 minutes. Remove from the oven and top with
the cheese and remaining bacon. Bake for another 5 minutes. Sprinkle chopped chives over the
top.

NOTES
Making the salad ahead of time? Once you've finished prepping and chopping, store the
ingredients separately in Ziploc bags or bowls with tight fitting lids. This will ensure the lettuce
doesn't get soggy from everything else in the bowl!
More veggies! Dice up a red bell pepper or cut an ear of fresh corn off the cob to add even more
goodness to this salad. If you like a bit more heat, prep a few fresh jalapeno slices too.
