Baby red potatoes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Since cold weather is closing in on us like there is no tomorrow (and there might not be a tomorrow!), I thought a hearty casserole which is quick and easy to fix would be the best thing possible.<\/p>\n

This is from a Campbell’s Cookbook that I bought at a bookstore when they were real bookstores instead of the equivalent of warehouses with shelves. It will make up to five servings, to adjust the quantity accordingly.<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

1 can cream of celery soup<\/p>\n

1 can cream of potato soup<\/p>\n

1 cup of milk – 2% is fine<\/p>\n

1\/4 teaspoon dried thyme, crushed<\/p>\n

1\/4 teaspoon black pepper<\/p>\n

4 cups of cooked vegetables (I use the frozen mixed veggies and thaw them in warm taer. One 8-ounce bag is 2 cups.)<\/p>\n

2 cups of leftover cooked chicken or turkey<\/p>\n

4 cups of boxed dressing (1 box will cover a half recipe.)<\/p>\n

1 1\/2 cups of water<\/p>\n

4 tablespoons of butter<\/p>\n

Proceed:<\/p>\n

Stir the soups, milk, thyme, pepper, veggies and chicken or turkey together in a baking dish \u00a0or a bowl. I line the baking dish with foil for easier cleanup and use a bowl to mix the ingredients and pour them into the baking dish. \u00a0The recipe calls for a 13x9x2 shallow baker.<\/p>\n

Prepare the boxed dressing according to the package directions. That should take about three minutes to fix. Spoon the dressing over the casserole mixture.<\/p>\n

Bake at 400F for about 25 minutes, but check on it. When you can smell the thyme floating through the air, it’s ready. It is quick to fix, easy, uses up leftovers and needs only the usual side dishes (like cornbread) to go with it. Lots of butter on the cornbread, too.<\/p>\n

I usually skip the cream of celery soup and add chopped celery to it instead. I also use about a 1\/2 teaspoon of thyme, because it just adds flavor. \u00a0You can also toss in some chopped green onions, including the chopped tails, to add more flavor. And yes, you can use chicken leftover from one of those chicken cookin’ places. \u00a0Good way to get rid of leftovers.<\/p>\n

If this doesn’t fill your tummy and make you happy, nothing will. Pumpkin pie with real whipped cream is for dessert.<\/p>\n

Happy harvesting!<\/p>\n
