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.
If you want to know other casserole staples in my house, comment on my blog! :)
