CASSEROLES THAT DON'T SUCK | EASY & FAST CASSEROLE DINNERS | COOK WITH ME

[@lynnettapierce1741]

My hubby won’t eat anything called “casserole” so I learned years ago to call it a “bake” instead. Pizza Bake. Potato Bake. Taco Bake. He gobbles them up. Haha!!

[@ivypoisonx5692]

so smart lol!!

[@604pinnacle]

Perfect! Lol

[@greysonphoenix3442]

[@marjoriejohnson4559]

Genius! I usually call mine slop.

[@eavesdroppin1]

I never tasted a casserole until I started making them when I got married in 1973! I am basically vegetarian these days, but these recipes look wonderful. Thank you for sharing.

[@cherylbailey1309]

The more of your video's I watch the more you're becoming my favorite. Your recipes are simple but delicious and made with ingredients that I usually have already in my pantry & freezer.

[@carrieteeple6376]

I love her vibe and energy..the cornflakes part made me laugh out loud 🤣 😆

[@regfernandez6759]

I love the fact that you seem to cook with an "ahhh this'll work.... it'll be fine" kind of attitude like I do 🤣 subscribed.

[@denealeyork]

I have tried 2 of these recipes and absolutely loved them! Thanks for posting these easy prep casserole recipes. I can’t wait to try them all! Please post more of this.

[@villiehaizlip7626]

Girl that is something I do, overfill and grab what ever to make it work to fix it. You are a real home cook. Tks don't change!

When I was in college, we had a stuffing-making contest one Thanksgiving. There were six entries and most of them were 'grandma's recipe' - some with sausage, some with chestnuts, or apples, or whatever. Everyone was talking up their recipes all week. We brought Stove Top. Everyone loved it - we won the contest. I would have to say I do love salt, so the fact that you find it salty doesn't surprise me. But I love Stove Top Stuffing to this day.

[@slycoke]

I LOVE stove top stuffing! I use it in several of my casseroles. What I absolutely hate is panko bread crumbs. Funny how people's tastebuds are so different. (correction…it is Pepperidge Farms herb stuffing that I use)

[@eurekamarijka]

I always start with that Pepperidge Farm stuffing, such a great time saver and not too salty! I add cornbread, sausage, lots of chopped veggies. My favorite trick is to cook it in greased muffin tins so every piece has a crunchy edge! 😋

[@markbrower1146]

Dry panko and shredded parmesan make an excellent crispy topping for baked Mac and cheese imo

[@kellystokes8136]

Panko annoys TF out of… breadcrumbs are perfect lol… I hate that it became a thing and everyone uses them now

[@Girlmom0314]

I hate stovetop…I don’t know why though Lol

[@Loosgroov10]

I feel like any meal with 2 or more meats seems super fancy. Going to try all of these.

[@denisepineda1788]

These look like casseroles we would eat. Thanks a bunch. It’s always good t add to my repertoire.

[@joannajohnson696]

I love your sense of humor, your b roll, your narration. You are hilarious! Frugal Mom, my new bestie!

[@susantabone1570]

They all look yummy! Can't wait to try the chicken/broccoli lasagna

[@joanneniinimaki7860]

We have made the Chicken & sausage Cassoulet a few times now and it is a hit in this household!

[@kimdowning8736]

😂OK, you pulled me back in with the whole scooping it out with the jar and ladle.

[@lindajimmerson8542]

My mother in law taught me years ago to use a cereal bowl….boy, is that a time saver!

[@cindym7234]

Crunched up Lays Potato chips on that chicken salad! The best! I will be making that next week. And that broccoli ham lasagna...I'll be making that too! Thanks for sharing the yummy casseroles. Love from Texas

[@rosethompson9449]

I have always HATED stove top stuffing, but you are the first person I have ever heard say the same.

[@barbkandel777]

Christine, I made the Chicken Broccoli Lasagna tonight and we LOVED it! That sauce is so easy and SO tasty!!! We substituted a bag of frozen cheese ravioli (thawed) instead of the noodles. It was a 10 out of 10!

[@thecozycosm]

I am so glad you posted the lasagna tip! Tried it this past week using a little beef stock I had on hand, and I loved how it turned out! No more boiling noodles for me!! 🙏🏼🙏🏼

[@pennygiller2377]

I love the broccoli ham lasagne dish.....great idea.

[@merrifrusti318]

My dad wouldn't eat them! Loved it when he went hunting so we could make one for dinner. All casseroles I've had are yummy!

[@etlzjj84]

Bacon tip: cut it first, then fry it…much quicker! Looks good but I’d have to double or triple these recipes for one meal!😄

[@janicewilliams2194]

Bacon Tip: While cold keep it on the cardboard and cut coming from the bottom up or top, your preference next thing is my preference of knives. LOL I don't use a knife, I use my pizza cutter. Oh so fast.

[@susanrolstad9338]

I never precooked lasagna noodles either. I like a firmer bite to my noodles. The noodles seem to take in the flavor better as well..

[@bertawalls7566]

I make chicken and dumpling soup. It is delicious. Easy and everyone loves it.

[@Charlihomnom]

I love watching your videos while cooking.

[@lindacoleman5383]

Definitely love the dinner ideas!

[@dreamofashes]

Ok but hear me out... crushed potato chips on the hot chicken salad!

[@kellietrudel8222]

Yes!!

[@rubens667]

I appreciate this video, my teenager hates casseroles! I’m hoping these change his mind!

[@karenkouns577]

Wow, I am impressed. You need to write a cookbook. Yes, definitely more cooking videos. Thanks for sharing!!!

[@dawnbrewer6646]

Definitely going to make the broccoli and chicken lasagna. Boy does that look good!

[@sandydutton4191]

Finally, someone else who uses celery tops besides me! Love the tops. I buy Celery based on the tops!!!

[@cllikewhat]

I use them when I make soups and chicken and dumplings. They really are so tasty and impart flavor!

[@vaniabushman5860]

Same!!

[@venusgal2706]

I make a very similar sauce to what you made for your lasagna. Tweaks I give it (depending on what I am using it on) are Italian Seasoning and garlic. I do it without cheese or with. When making a white pizza I omit the cheese in the sauce because I use plenty of it to top the pizza. Never did ham and chicken together in something like that, may have to give it a try.

[@lindajimmerson8542]

It made me think of chicken cordon blue (but that uses Swiss cheese)….delicious😋

[@heavenlee1965]

Would love to see you make a week of burger meals and sides that don't suck. Time for a change in my favorite go-to's.

[@joandarnsteadt2311]

My family loved the chicken broccoli lasagna. Definitely a keeper in the recipe rotation.

[@bethr5161]

Yumm and thank you! Frying pans. Who knew, right?! 😉

[@TheRalphie2020]

I love Casserole dishes! So easy to make and can last for a few days.

[@harrietward2990]

We have a weekly supper/Bible study group. Casseroles are something that every lady in the group brings at some point and the men are always happy with them. Just added three new recipes to test on the group. LOL Thanks!

[@mayramarrero1218]

I did the last one and instead of rice I used bow tie pasta, super delicious.

[@ccelms6581]

You’re killin’ me with the cornflakes!🤣🤣🤣 Thank you for the laugh!

[@amandaramsay5934]

I use Stove Top, as croutons, on our salads. Love it!

[@canadian893]

Haha, my mom makes one stuffing casserole once a year after Thanksgiving and it is like the ultimate comfort food. I don't want to know how many calories... but oh my lanta... I look forward to it every year! Leftovers for the win!

[@Erdie5]

The chicken salad casserole, we like to use a pack of that $1 Vigo saffron rice, cooked. Has salt though, so low sodium cream of chicken (or making your own with flour/butter/low sodium chk broth/milk) is probably better.

[@tbehnke1928]

They ALL LOOK GREAT. THANKS AGAIN 😊

[@jacquiblanchard3131]

I need to apologize for not thumbs-uppingmost of your videos. I put you on auto-play and listen. I'm really loving your tips, tricks, ideas and recipes and wanted to say thank you for sharing!

[@lisa-pj8ss]

thank you! love this inspiration. i can't wait to try the sausage/veggies recipe.

[@MumandDadto10]

I love a casserole. It's nice and easy meal to feed the 10 of us x

[@heatherjohnson2511]

I have always cooked my lasagna noodles, thank you for showing it , I was just always taught to cook them first.... even the ones in the store that say no cook, I didn't trust them........🤣😅🤣😅 thank you!! I will be doing this from now on! Love your channel, I have been watching you for over a year, you have such personality, so fun!! ❤❤😁

[@kcobbx63]

Oh my God I just stumbled upon you And your channel… So glad I did!! Oh I love your sense of humor and casseroles look pretty darn good too! 😉. Oh and I’m a home grown Texan too!! 🙌🙌🙌

[@nataliepierce2759]

I have a recipe like that from my grandma. It calls for specifically Hellmann's mayo, I love using parboiled rice, and I add cream or chicken AND cream of celery. Then add melted butter to those cornflakes. 🤤🤤🤤 You should try it!

[@WorldOfWonder66]

Awesome recipes. My favorite part was beating up the cornflakes. That me laugh. That just made my day ☺️

[@deborahelliott8460]

a rolling pin crushes just as good, Love the video btw. Not a big fan of sausage but can work with substitutes.

[@infinityscarefuldriver7377]

I love the lasagna idea..... I thought of an alternative version.... instead of ham, use corned beef, add a little Dijon mustard or whole grain mustard to the sauce, a little white wine perhaps? I love recipes that are flexible like this one, thanks for actually inspiring my imagination!

[@cassiepowell182]

Your movie references crack me up, not sure how you use them without laughing.

[@lovelivi1591]

My husband hates anything called a casserole. 🙄 he also hates stovetop lol I love casseroles and stovetop haha

[@MK-lp4he]

Stovetop is the best! For real, love it

[@kellyellie589]

I love the stuff! My family though...not so much. Usually get the box to myself, lol.

[@sheila3779]

I love me some stove top except I make stuffin muffins where I put them in the muffin tin in the oven and omg...another level.

[@joannsimpson9568]

They all sound good especially the lasagna one.thank for sharing and also the tip. Bless you

[@zarzee8925]

Crushed potato chips are also a great casserole topper.

yum.

[@lindseyperry1436]

I don’t precook noodles either!! My friends mom just said to add a touch more liquid and keep it moving!

[@peggyspeer731]

Just could not get anyone to try these. But I enjoyed watching you make them

[@daisyhooks3662]

frying pans! who knew? I love it. My husband and I say this all the time :)

[@EleutheriaBeth]

In my family we have also been looking lasagne for about 30 years without cooking the noodles, we just make sure we have lots of wet sauces to help them cook

[@gypsybelle4757]

Love your practicality, humor and enthusiasm! Subscribed! Any chance for a plant based episode in the future? 😁🌱💚❤️💪

Yeah I ask for a plant based menu too!!!

[@annetteantoniadesyoutubers9400]

Omg, loved when you brought out the frying pan to crush corn flakes. Too funny.

[@exploringwiththehunts6133]

I love how veggie forward some of the casseroles are.

[@allieyates557]

Omg your videos are always so informative but bringing the funny references 🤣 Love this one as usual!

[@christyd3103]

Hilarious opener. Thank you!! 😂. I have grown a deeper fondness for casseroles raising my 3 & 6 year olds since we need dinner on the table fast!! Truly, though, I had a stigma against casseroles growing up. I completely understand now why they are so necessary for moms. 🙃 Can’t wait to try some of these!

[@danielles8712]

I was just going through your old vlogs tonight and your face shape has changed so much from the braces. This is exactly what happened to my oldest son. You posted something recently with your 2 younger sons and everyone said Ryan was you, which he definitely was but after seeing these blogs of you before braces he is a definite mini Christine. You look amazing by the way

I am actually making a taco riced cauliflower casserole for dinner tonight. Also, curry goes really well in chicken salad. Just a little bit, it doesn't need to be spicy.

[@caitlinstarnauld9478]

I love this video! Definitely going to make the broccoli chicken cheese bake! I would love to see more of this kind of thing and more freezer meals! Those are my favorite!

[@pameehanson3866]

I feel that one of the issue with those who do not like casseroles is they don’t like their foods to mix or touch each other. I love casseroles and hubs not so much. I see he doesn’t mix his food’s. I often mix all my foods all together to eat……so I rarely make casseroles Thanks for the ideas 💡

That ham casserole is begging for some sharp chedda' mixed in there! I m going to try, my husband hates casseroles too but he loves ham

The corn flakes therapy was the best!

Question ? What else can you put in with the sausage & meatball meal ? Seems to be missing something else to make it kinda creamy or something

[@dixiebell3585]

Great receipesto try. Thanks for lasagna tip. My casseroles tend to be a way to use up leftovers

Okay, the frying pan bit had me giggling 😆

[@91splamy]

My favorite thing to top casseroles with is chips, salted are best, or salt and vinegar or cheese and onion for something different

Can't believe I missed this one! I thought the chicken and ham casserole could easily be a turkey and ham leftover meal after Thanksgiving! Your welcome! Haha 😜

[@stephaniecowans3646]

I discovered your channel by chance and I am IN LOVE with both your recipes AND your quirky sense of humor ! I especially love how you don't want to use canned cream of anything soups in your recipes; so many of the KZbin videos I'm seeing use them and I don't like them. Hmmm, next time I have to mash up something to make a crumbly topping. . . . I'm gonna use a skillet! (yeah, who knew, right?). Oh, and I'm definitely going to subscribe to your channel. i can't wait to try your Crock Pot (yeah, that's right, I call my slow cooker a Crock Pot) recipes.

I need to try that ham and broccoli casserole 😯

[@jrod8644]

What I learned today... I guess I only consider It a casserole if it has at least one of these ingredients, can of cream soup, cream cheese, potatoes or stuffing and has 2 distinct layers.

[@ultravioletpisces3666]

What I learned is that it was pretty hard to find casserole recipes that didn't include those things, lol
