2232.0. "Dinners for Dad" by AUNTB::TALBERT () Sat Feb 03 1990 10:04

    I have never been known as an organizer and planner, but I am going to
    be going in the hospital to deliver my second child soon and would like
    to prepare for it in advance.
    
    I am looking for good casserole suggestions that all my husband will
    have to do is pull them out of the freezer, follow easy baking
    directions and add a salad.
    
    Any suggestions would be appreciated!

    Any lasagna.  If you bake it ahead, you can freeze it in serving
    sized packages.
    
    Teach him to cook?  :-)

2232.2Macaroni, Ham and CheeseLEDS3::BLODGETTThe fjords are calling me...Mon Feb 05 1990 08:309
    I make macaroni and cheese (from scratch with real cheese) and add
    small chunks of turkey ham (Marval brand). Topped with bread crumbs and
    parmesan cheese. It is delicious the first time and even better
    reheated for lunch the next day. If you want a recipe, look up any good
    cheese sauce recipe (I use Fanny Farmer) make about 2 cups of cheese
    sauce for 1 1/2 qt casserole. Cut up about 1 lb. of turkey ham and cook
    a little less than 1/2 sm. box of macaroni. I don't think I've made it
    exactly the same twice. Sometimes I use cheddar cheese, sometimes it's
    a combination of swiss and parm. whatever's in the house.

Last night I made this real simple recipe.

Brown 1/2 lb lean hamburg or turkey.
Add 1 can cream of chicken (or cream of mushroom soup) and heat through.

Serve on top of egg noodles or macaroni.  Real easy and it tasted good too.

2232.5sausage and rice cassaroleCSG001::SCHOFIELDMon Feb 05 1990 14:3321
    1 pkg sausage
    2 cups cooked rice
    1/2 green pepper
    1/4 onion
    sliced mushrooms
    1 can cream of mushroom soup
    
    Brown and drain the sausage, then slice and put back in pan with
    chopped peppers, onions and mushrooms.
    
    While thats cooking, mix 1 can soup with rice in lg bowl. When peppers
    and onions are done, add the whole mess to the rice. Mix well and
    dump into cassarole dish. Sprinkle bread crumbs on top.
    
    Bake (or freeze) at 350 for 35-45 min.
    
    You can use any kind of meat (left over chicken and cream of chicken
    soup, etc.) I usually use turkey sausage. Very easy 2 dish meal.
    (pan you cooked in and pan you freeze in).

    RE: 2232.6
    
    What is " 1 can chicken rice"?  Do you mean a can of chicken rice
    soup?

Mix:

 1 pound browned ground round (cooked with 1/2 cup chopped onions if you wish)
	well drained
 1 small pkg. frozen mixed vegetables (corn,green beans,lima beans), rinsed
	in hot water and well-drained
 1 12 - 16 oz. cut lasagne noodles (or any large, flat noodle), cooked
	barely to al-dente and well drained - DO NOT RINSE - cook the noodles
	just 2 minutes short of "done" (American standards)
 1 small basket fresh mushrooms, brushed, sliced, quickly sauteed in
	1 tablespoon margarine or butter - just to crisp done
 1 - 2 cans golden mushroom soup - straight from the can - enough to
	make a nice blend of previous ingredients

pour into oven-safe casserole and:

	cover with foil, freeze up to 1 month and cook or

	cover with foil, bake at 350 degrees for approx. 45 minutes
		to 1 hour - until all bubbly and hot

	if baking after freezing - defrost and bake at 350 for 1
		hour to 1.5 hour - depends on the oven

serve with french bread/salad with vinegarette

A great way to get veggies into those folks who might overlook them
when eating alone.
