Good morning once again, and welcome back into Miz Judi’s Kitchen. Thank you once more for stopping in to visit with us again today! You guys are great!
Today we’ll share a few more casserole dishes with you guys! I’m not sure about the rest of you, but I personally, kinda like a dish that’s got a little of everything in it! It’s almost like a “one stop shop!”
The more I can get on my plate conveniently…the better I like it, and with a casserole you’re getting a pretty good dose of all of it with every scoop of the spoon! I like that!
Actually, any casserole for that matter, are all pretty much meals in themselves. You want veggies, shoot, just chunk em in. Ya got your veggies. Rice??? Just toss it in! Even most any type of meat can be added to whatever type of casserole you may serve!
They are very versatile in the number of ways you can mix or match em. Your own taste is basically the only drawback. So a good rule of thumb when mixing up a casserole is very simple…if you like it, why not toss it in with the other ingredients! If you don’t like something in particular, why would you put it in anyway?? Gimme a break! LOL!
We’ve also mentioned casseroles are a very good way to put a good, nutritious meal on the table, many times, at a fraction of the cost of other meals. Think about it for a moment…
Say you’re feeding a family of five. Hamburger today is fairly costly anymore, but what isn’t? Still though, Deb and I both consider it one of the better buys, meat wise. There’s just no waste, plus it can be served with just about anything.
Where it may take 2-3 pounds to patty out and fry, or grill a burger for everyone, with a casserole, you could put in maybe ½ a pound, and there you go. A full meal that is prepped fairly easily, not a big mess to cleanup afterwards, is very reasonable on your “pocket-book,” and is tasty to boot!
This means that if you were to put a casserole together, with hamburger for instance, you could serve meat in your casserole 4 to 6 times, versus once using your hamburger as a patty for each person. The same amount of meat , but supplying you with many more meals.

‘Ridin Out The Recession With Dub and Deb in “Miz Judi’s Kitchen’!
Note to Readers: There are a few things that Dub doesn’t know but one thing he does know is that the word ‘Riding’ (as in Riding Out the Recession) is spelled with a ‘g’ at the end. But Dub not only walks the walk, but speaks like he is: down home, true blue, and plain speakin’ country folk.
Dub and Deb are both native Floridians, live in Central Florida, and run a small business as well. They have five children, and seven grandchildren.
Both love to cook, love to laugh, grow a garden, and generally try to “aggravate” most anyone around them basically…all in good fun, of course!
