Company's Coming Casserole

[@vickibrain8959]

Looks delicious! HINT: A really flexible silicone spatula works great to scrape out filling from a bowl or dish--much quicker & efficient than a spoon! The bowl is much easier to clean too.

[@Barryburton63]

Amy is a charm! As soon as she began to speak I thought, hmmmm, not quite Minnesota or Upper Peninsula but definitely Michigan! As a fellow Michigander our voices are usually easy to identify. The casserole looks great. Can't wait to try it.

[@lorettaatheneos7956]

I watch this all the time and have made this many times . It is a very hearty casserole that everyone enjoys. Serve with a green garden salad and bread or rolls can omit the bread for less carbs.

[@hurstjames6196]

Where are you from if I may ask?

[@rubywingo6030]

Old school cafeteria lady trick... instead of oil add a little water to the meat. Saves calories AND grease popping. Drain before you add any other ingredients. Excess grease drains off with the water.

[@theodorenahas1090]

Uhh adding water and draining it removes the flavor...you must love bland food....

[@dlminflorida9406]

Glad you mentioned the sugar in the tomato sauce. My mother taught me that and it really makes a differnce. This looks great!

[@margaretdevries8090]

Had the tool for mixing and separating ground beef , about 10+ years, on my second one love it!

[@michaelleeannspringer3247]

Only my 2 cents worth, but after I cook ground beef, I drain it and wash it under the faucet. I let it rinse into a big bowl, so the grease doesn't go down the drain. But, as you said, it all depends on the meat and the grease content. It's just something I always do, even when making tacos. Your video is wonderful and I love that kitchen! Thank you.

[@christinemhosie9832]

so do you dump the grease on the soil or freeze it and throw away?

[@michaelleeannspringer3247]

@@christinemhosie9832 I put the washed off grease from the meat (after it is cooked of course) in a bowl. I let it cool and mix dry dog food in it for my huge dogs. They love it and it does not end up down the drain. I'm very particular with what goes down the drain. Before I had big farm dogs, I let the grease cool and wrapped it in newspaper which helped with burning brush and leaves. I've just never liked greasy foods. I also know that some meats like ground round sometimes don't have a lot of drippings. The lady in the video however, has great recipes and I'm sure she doesn't use very greasy ground round or hamburger. I'm going to try her recipe soon.

[@mellisapollom2241]

My Mon made this when we were kids and we loved it! I still do in fact, but my Mom did something slightly different,. She chopped a cup of green onions and a cup of green peppers and put it in the cheese mixture. Very tasty.

[@suzannesanders8549]

@Lana Ebarb ???

Got a very similar recipe from an old 70's cookbook. It was called Hamburger Bake. Green onions add a great flavor! Not as good without them.

How much garlic salt & Italian seasoning do you put in?

But can I get by with no ricotta. I do not have any. I have cream cheese and cottage cheese?

[@lydiarobertson9423]

Can I get by without ricotta. I have cream cheese and I have cottage cheese.

[@malindamooradian5664]

Lydia Robertson she didn’t use ricotta! She used cream cheese, sour cream, and cottage cheese.

[@mvs3896]

Like how she thoroughly browns the beef. Browning well boosts flavor.

[@dansglover3155]

The recipe was easy to follow n looks really yummy , I think you explained everything really well ! Thank you I'm going to try this right away !

[@char8a291]

i made this tonight and will probably add ricotta cheese next time instead of the cream, cottage and sour cream. It was very tart for my family but a great dish overall. Thank you for a handy recipe.

[@kj7792]

Maybe no cream cheese. Would help

[@stormy8092]

It is basically lasagna.

[@Enkephalen]

I like how she scrapes down the pan/bowel of mixtures. Drives me crazy when you watch chefs leave the mixing bowls un-scraped - what a waste of ingredients! I also appreciate her easy-going attitude and approach.

[@trudydavis6168]

I agree with you - it bothered me too. Besides, it kinda throws the measurements off, if a big glop is left in the bowl.. But then I got to thinking, the TV chefs are usually pressed for time to get the recipe done and scraping the bowls properly might take valuable seconds..Of course, they probably do it at home like we do..

[@katmiller51]

So glad you finally moved that coffee cup! Also, it would be nice to see the final product dished out on a plate.

If you don’t have one of those chop and stir things, on old-fashioned wavy wire potato masher does a great job of crumbling ground meat while browning it.

Looks delish and haven't had a casserole like this in far too long. Hint ~ return the pot to a boil then turn down heat low enough to simmer. A wooden spoon laid across the top of your pot helps prevent boil over and you can rest the lid on top of the spoon if you want to maintain the simmer.
