How to Make Meat Casseroles For Anything - Family Meals to Church Socials to Pitch-In Meals

It is always good to have some tasty casserole recipes on hand for everything from family dinners to picnics, church socials, office pitch-in meals, etc. If you are tired of using the same old casserole recipes over and over and want to bring new life to the occasion, here are some very good recipes for you. I recommend Florence's Easy Goulash. Florence has always been like a second mother to me and she was also manager of the local school cafeteria back in the days when the local ladies went in early and cooked the meals from scratch. This recipe was a favorite among the students. Florence is in her 80s now and still makes this for me when I'm in the area. Love you, Florence! If you prefer chicken over ground beef, try this Chicken and Broccoli casserole. Both recipes are okay for diabetics, too.

EASY GOULASH

Meat Casseroles

2 lbs ground beef
1 small onion, diced
1/2 bell pepper, diced
3/4 tsp garlic powder
salt to taste
1 1/2 cups elbow macaroni
1 No. 2 can tomatoes, chopped slightly
1 lb Colby cheese, grated

Crumble ground beef and fry with onion, bell pepper, garlic powder, and salt. Cook macaroni until tender, drain. Drain excess fat from ground beef mixture. Add the macaroni and tomatoes. Stir well. Place in a baking dish and cover with the grated cheese. Bake at 350 degrees until cheese melts and is light brown (about 20 minutes).

CHICKEN AND BROCCOLI BAKE

2 pkg. (10-oz ea) frozen broccoli
1 cup cooked brown rice
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp flour
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups milk
1/2 cup shredded Swiss cheese
2 cups diced, cooked chicken
3/4 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp butter

Cook broccoli and drain thoroughly. Combine broccoli and rice; place in an 8-inch square baking dish that has been sprayed with nonstick cooking spray. Melt 2 tablespoons butter and blend in the flour and salt. Add milk to the butter mixture and cook, stirring, until thick. Remove mixture from the heat; stir in the Swiss cheese and chicken. Spoon the chicken mixture over the broccoli mixture. Combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and 1 tablespoon butter. Sprinkle crumb mixture over the chicken mixture. Bake uncovered at 350 degrees for 30 minutes.

Enjoy!
