Almost A Meal Casserole

9 Comments

This aptly-named casserole really is almost a meal in itself. Just throw together a tossed salad - or get a bag o' salad - and you're all set. Easy peasy!

Notes

Very good for preparing ahead of time. To reheat, place foil loosely over top and reheat in oven for about 20 minutes.

I made this and I dipped both sides of the potao's in the flour, and layered them . I also think you could use frozen pea's in place of the frozen corn. My hubby suggested add 1/2 tsp hot sauce to the hamburger mixture for just a bit more kick. this was a really fast, easy, and cheap casserole to make. add a salad and dessert, and it's all done!

We LOVED this dish but I still don't understand the cooking time! You stated 45 min cooking time at the beginning and then you add 30min more at the end. Am I missing something?

You can use cornstarch in place of the flour. Use 1/2 of cornstarch, (half of 1/3 c flour) mix with cold water until dissolved to a milky white.

I made this one for my family this week and they all loved it. The dish has a fantastic flavor.Each layer was made up of something I alrdy like but put them all together and they only got better. The only concern I even had about this dish was the amount of flour to be used,I was worried that the dish would have a mushy flour messy kind of layer to it. I decided to just follow the recipe and hope for the best. I can say none of us were disappointed you couldn't even tell it was there. This will definitely become a recipe that will go into my rotation.
