How to Make 5 Cheap and Easy Casseroles | You Can Cook That | AllRecipes.com

What’s a better crowd pleaser than a casserole i’ve got five cheap and easy casserole dishes to feed your family that won’t break the bank we’ll start out with some family favorites you gotta have some good chicken casseroles that’s probably the most popular and this is one of my favorite it is king ranch

Chicken casserole this recipe starts by making the saucy layer with our favorite canned soups this says cream of mushroom and cream of chicken we’re going to start by combining those in a bowl along with some rotel and a little bit of chicken broth this recipe calls for two

Cups of chicken broth i like my sauce really thick and rich so i’m gonna cut that back to about three quarters of a cup to a cup of broth it’s really easy to make these sauces from scratch on the stove and that’s the way i typically do it however the biggest benefit from

Using the can is how much time it saves the sauce came together in less than a minute now we’ll start our layers you’ll want to lightly grease your casserole dish place down half of your tortillas and half of your chicken then we’re going to sprinkle on top bell pepper and

Onion i’m using a poblano pepper instead of just a green bell pepper i think it adds a little more pungency and they’re still super cheap on top of our onion and pepper we’re going to top it with half of our cheese and then on top of

That we’ll do half of our sauce and we’re gonna go on with more tortillas if you need to cut your tortillas to fit to your casserole dish that’s totally okay more chicken more peppers more sauce and then cheese last and then finally we’re gonna give the top a sprinkle of chili

Powder and i’m using garlic powder just to add a little bit of punch to that top cheesy layer and we’re just going to bake this at 350 degrees for about 30 to 45 minutes or until everything is golden and bubbly everything in here is already

Really cooked so we just need it to all kind of come together oh my goodness this is piping hot and smells amazing king ranch is the king indeed like the saying goes all good things are worth the wait so like any good casserole we need to wait

Before we get into it you want everything to kind of resettle and come together so we’ll let it sit for about 10 minutes before we serve it up my mouth just started watering i love to serve it just like i would enchiladas or something like that with some chopped tomato

A sprinkle of cilantro maybe a little dollop of sour cream and then serve it with some avocado maybe some tortilla chips this is so creamy and definitely indulgent this has to be one of my favorite lazy man dinners that you can have it’s kind of like enjoying an enchilada without

All that hard work just one of those things that made me happy you definitely need to give the king ranch a try don’t blink because this next casserole comes together so fast you’re not going to know what happened but i had to include it because it’s one of our most popular

This is a cheesy chicken and broccoli casserole we’ll start by combining three cups of cooked chicken with two cups of cooked broccoli and i’m actually using about three cups because we like broccoli and anytime you can incorporate more veggies why not to that i’m going

To stir in the 2 cups of cream of chicken there’s plenty of salt in the cream of chicken as well so we only need to add some pepper and then we’re going to stir in some sour cream another benefit to using the canned soups not

Only is it a time saver but it also can save you money because you don’t have to buy the cream and the butter and the flour and whatever seasonings to make this mixture yourself keeps things easy on vacation casseroles with cream of anything was very popular when i was a

Kid this is definitely something my mom would have made now to take this over the top and add that texture you know for that perfect bite we’re going to combine one and a half cups of bread crumbs with some melted butter and sprinkle that on the top of course if

You wanted to keep this low carb just leave that off this is gonna be so good i’m using a panko bread crumb because i love that extra crunch it provides this one’s gonna bake at 375 degrees until it’s all gooey and bubbly about 30 to 35 minutes

Look at this this one’s definitely a no-brainer your family will love it you can customize it to your taste so bubbly creamy on the inside crunchy on the top one delicious thing you could do is serve it over a hot baked potato or just simply with a side salad and maybe some

Crusty bread or just over regular rice or cauliflower rice i just love a good casserole to be honest something like this is really one of my guilty pleasures i wish my favorite food was something healthy but it’s just not now that we have nostalgia covered save room for a more

Updated casserole here we go all right let’s keep rolling casserolin this next casserole is packed with flavor and if you’ve got good eaters in your household this is the one to make this is a cabbage roll casserole i love recipes like this that just take those familiar flavors and then just

You know creates them in a different way this recipe couldn’t be easier we’re going to start by chopping up some onion and get that in a skillet with some ground beef and just saute it together once our meat and onions are cooked we’re just going to put everything

Together you want to drain off any excess grease or anything that was in your ground beef and now we’re just going to stir in a cup of rice and one to two cans of tomato sauce and then i love the flavors of the mediterranean style stuffed cabbage rolls so i’m going to

Add in a pinch of allspice that’s just total preference once we get this all mixed together i’m going to stir in about three pounds of chopped cabbage you know it all falls apart when you go to eat a cabbage roll anyway so why not just go ahead and

Make it easy on yourself just pull off any leaves that are brown or bruised everything else is good to go i like to leave as much of the green leaves as possible if you have any leftover cabbage from your head of cabbage it’s great to add into a stir fry or to make

Some coleslaw let’s just see if i can get it all off she’s ambitious folks she’s ambitious the cabbage in combination with some beef broth we’re going to add is going to cook that rice because the cabbage is going to release a lot of water during the cooking process

I’m going to go in with this whole mixture i have buttered a casserole dish and we’re just going to go all in and then pour our beef broth right on top it’s covered we’re going to bake for one to one and a half hours at 350 degrees

We’re going to uncover it during about the last half hour so that is one big delicious casserole you can finish this off however you want or serve it with additional vegetables or a salad i love continuing that mediterranean theme and topping it with a little bit of greek yogurt or

Labna and some fresh dill you could do parsley you could squeeze a little lemon over it you could do none of that if you were blindfolded and took a bite of this you would say it’s a cabbage roll you wouldn’t know that it’s all chopped up mixed together as a casserole

This next casserole is what dreams are made of we’re combining one of our favorite things ever macaroni and cheese that’s ultra creamy and rich with french onion soup french onion mac and cheese it’s like a match made in heaven i’m gonna thinly slice two large sweet

Onions i also do a combination of butter and oil and then we’re just gonna cook it stirring often every five minutes or so while the onions cook i’m gonna shred up my cheese to keep this somewhat affordable i’m just using a regular swiss cheese instead of the expensive

Gruyere and i’m combining that with just some white cheddar once your onions get to that rich deep brown color we’re going to add the flavors that are reminiscent of that french onion soup so we’re going to deglaze our pan with some beef broth and sherry if you don’t have cherry you can

Just use like a red wine vinegar and then just some fresh thyme a couple dashes of worcestershire salt and pepper oh that smells just like french onion soup let’s say we’re just going to let this reduce by half until most of that liquid is gone and then we’ll just set these aside

Now we’re just gonna make our cheese sauce so we’re just using the same skillet it’s already got a layer of flavor in there and you all know how to make this you could probably do this with your eyes closed we’re not available we are going to stir in our cheese i preserved about

A cup and a half or so for the topping and i’m going in with our blend at this point you can pretty much just turn the heat off season it up with a little salt and pepper and then we’re going to stir in our little gold

Add the pasta in and then we’re going to pour it into a casserole dish look at that for the topping i’m going to thinly slice some baguette you could also just use some panko bread crumbs all right once that’s on there now we’re just going to sprinkle the rest of our

Cheese and kind of just get it in those little nooks and crannies throw this in the oven if you’re serving this for company or maybe as a side dish next to some delicious steak off the grill that would be a very upscale side dish pop it in the oven at

425 degrees until it’s all melty and bubbly and golden oh y’all i think i’ve really outdone myself this looks so good i’m just going to finish it off with a little bit of fresh thyme y’all it is so creamy there’s so much flavor just like french onion soup mixed

With mac and cheese and that little crunch from the topping creamy matte plus crunchy topping equals perfect bite if you’re looking for the casserole to impress without breaking the bank this is the one what’s a cheap and easy casserole episode without a cheap and easy breakfast casserole this is really an

All-in-one breakfast casserole we’re talking sausage gravy biscuits eggs and cheese all together in one and we’ll start by making the sausage gravy and i’m just gonna get the sausage nice and brown and once that happens we’re gonna use the fat that’s in there we’re not going

To drain it and we’re going to add our flour in that’s going to create the roux that’s going to thicken our gravy and then we’re just going to cook that flour down a little bit about one to two minutes and we’re going to stir in our milk about two and a quarter cups

We’re just going to bring it up to a simmer and that’s how you’ll see how thick and rich it’s going to be and then we’ll let it cook for about five minutes season it up with just a little salt and pepper there’s enough salt really in the sausage so you don’t need much

Even if you’re not making the casserole you could have this kind of breakfast on the table in like about 15 minutes the bread component of this casserole is the good old canned biscuit just going to take these biscuits and quarter them we are going to literally build the whole thing

Just straight up in our 9×13 you’ll want to butter it so that nothing really sticks and then straight in with our eggs we’re just gonna beat them straight in our casserole dish going in with six eggs just scrambled them up right in the casserole dish season it up with a little

Salt and pepper and now we’re just going to toss our little biscuits straight in you figure about a biscuit per person so i’d say this casserole serves about eight people and then i’m gonna go in with about half of my cheese and then right over all of that

With our delicious gravy and then top it with the rest of your cheese and then we’re going to bake it at 350 degrees for just about 30 minutes this is a thing of beauty the gravy in the midst of all these little biscuit bites is just piping hot in the middle and

Then you get that creamy gravy this is not going to be a dried out casserole by any means to freshen it up and make it look pretty i like to top it with some fresh chives and then we go in for that good scoop it’s like creamy cheesy crusty yummy

I’ll go ahead and say probably also a little sinful just saying tell me again why people don’t like casseroles with all of these new recipes you’re sure to find something to add to your recipe rotation and when you try something out don’t forget to tag me let
