Good morning to you guys, and welcome back to Miz Judi’s Kitchen. We’re glad to see you all again today, and thanks for stopping back by!
Today we’re going to talk about casseroles, and their ability to supply your family a good nutritious meal for a very reasonable cost. On top of this, casseroles are normally very easy to make, have usually a very short prep time, and most are really tasty to boot.
These same reasons make casseroles very appealing to families today in such uncertain economic times.
Many times both parents are working so this is another draw in regards to casseroles. They can be made up ahead, and kept in the refrigerator, and once arriving home from work, Mom or Dad, either one, can set them in the oven, warm them up, and…dinner’s served!
With the exception of one casserole today, the Potato and Bacon Casserole, all are meatless. But this is a simple enough fix. You could fry up a little hamburger, add it to the casserole mix, and voila…a full meal!
Not only hamburger, but how about a bit of fried up thinly sliced, or diced up sausage? Sounds good to me, how bout you guys. You gotta understand as well, that in regards to casseroles, a little bit of meat, actually goes a long, long way.
So, once again, Deb and I both consider casserole dishes very appealing, both on the pocketbook, AND the belly!
Today’s casserole recipes come from a cookbook we’ve really enjoyed going through… “Mama Dip’s Family Cookbook.” It was written by Mildred Council, who is the founder and cook of Mama Dip’s kitchen in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.
It was published by the University of North Carolina Press.
So, with a quick thank you to Mrs. Council, let’s fire off the cook stove and whip us up a casserole or two…even if it’s wrong!

‘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!
