Maybe it's the lingering after-effects of the numerous church potluck dinners I attended as a child, but I love casseroles.
And really, what's not to love? It's warm and comforting. You can put the leftovers in refrigerator and then scoop it out and heat it up until its gone. And a casserole dish can go in the dishwasher--no dirty dishes!
Most of them are a complete meal in one dish: protein, starch, veggies. Lots of them include cheese, which is such a hot commodity in this household of three that I buy the huge 8 cup bags of shredded cheese. The two cup bags are for wimps. One notable exception is my favorite casserole, chicken and rice. My husband doesn't like it so I make it just for me. I would eat it for every meal. It reminds me of my childhood and my grandparents. Home is where the chicken and rice casserole is.
I also love how people from the Upper Midwest call them hotdishes. How great is that?
I like to make casseroles on Sunday because then I have lots of good leftovers to start off the week.
