The Casserole Quick-Fix

An easy way to use up leftovers is to throw all of them into a casserole dish. You can put almost anything into them and they'll taste great. Leftovers such as rice, potato, or noodle, plus some chopped or shredded meat that needs to be used up, plus any assortment of vegetables -- fresh or leftover -- equals one very tasty meal. Just cut all your ingredients into manageable bite-size pieces and mix them together with something that will moisten them and bind them together. This can be done with Watkins cream soup base, sour cream, eggs, mayonnaise, tomato sauce, cheese, Watkins broth mixes with a little cornstarch or a combination of these items. Season to taste and spread the mixture into a casserole dish. Then shred a little of your favorite cheese over it, and bake at about 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) until heated through and lightly browned on top.
