Basic 5 things for Casseroles

I have at times, been called the "Casserole Queen".  I can make a casserole out of almost anything and have earned this habit through necessity. 

Living in the country, nearest grocery store miles away, causes you to become creative! 

So here is a list of the few things I always have on hand to live up to the "Casserole Queen" name!

1. Cream of "something" soups..
          I always have at least 1 each: cream of chicken, cream of mushroom and cream of celery. 
          If Cream of potato or golden mushroom are on sale I sometimes grab these as well.

2. Always have potatoes, rice, quinoa and pasta on hand.  (whatever your preferences)
         I am in the habit of every time I grocery shop to grab at least one off this list.

3. Keep one bag of your favorite cut of chicken.
        (breasts, thighs, legs, tenders etc)

4. Keep a few pounds of hamburger in your freezer. (or if a hunter whatever game works too)

5. Frozen vegetables.
       Last minute casseroles, or one-pot-meals need that little bit of veggies and this is easiest to use.


Sound too simple to be true?  Well, if you combine your choice of these... wah-la!  You have a casserole.  Sometimes if it works with whatever combo I assemble, I add cheese on top.

 These are just 5 BASIC things I have on hand for emergency casseroles or one-pot-meals.
