Nana’s More Casserole-Because They Always Want More

Nana’s More Casserole

The weather is cool in Kentucky and the leaves are falling. There are certain foods I like better in the fall and winter. Chili, soups, and Nana’s More Casserole.

Because I feed so many people (with big appetites) I doubled this recipe. I’m going to show you what goes in it— but remember I doubled it. This recipe is for a “normal” sized family. It will feed 4 to 6 easily.

When our kids were young I could do normal sized portions but now that they are grown (all my guys are over 6 feet tall) it’s harder to fill them up. Also, there are usually a couple of grandchildren running around so I just double everything I cook.

I was supposed to brown onions and green peppers with hamburger meat but got distracted and forgot (I do that a lot). I also let my skillet get too hot and got the onions a little too brown but they were fine. Don’t you love the smell of onion and green peppers in a skillet?

My daughter has been using the pre-order form online and picking up her groceries outside the grocery store. I live in the country where this isn’t available. It sure would be nice!

My husband opened cans and drained the corn and peas for me, boiled the noodle water and preheated the oven. It is so nice that he is retired and can be around to help with meals sometimes.

After we got everything mixed together and in the oven we added some rolls and a tossed salad. My daughter made some pumpkin bread and we had that for dessert. A delicious meal anytime of year, but especially in the fall!

This is what my casserole dish looked like by the end of the meal. I’ll probably make it again next week because they always want more!
