casseroles are great options when you have leftovers or just use up items in the fridge. I had 1/2 a head of cauliflower and some ham left over from a previous meal - throw in some pantry regulars and you have a quick one dish meal. Casserole: a mainstay of the 70's and 80's - retro is definitely back!
The casserole:
- use a deep square corning ware dish or a regular lasagna pan
- cut up cauliflower into bite sized pieces. sprinkle ground pepper
- heat up 2 cans of cream of mushroom soup (only using 1 full can of additional water or milk)
- add soup to the cauliflower. top with grated cheddar cheese. sprinkle with 4Tbsp bread crumbs
- add sliced ham
- top with 1/8"sliced yams. cover with foil and cook in 350F oven for 45 minutes
- broil until yams are golden (about 5 minutes)
- serve over rice
Bring back the casserole indeed!
