Vallen’s PotLuck

I attended Vallen’s PotLuck last night, and I must tell you, it was fabulous! I couldn’t stay long ’cause I had a prior date with MeMum to do a little quilting. Flea Market Queen did a great job of decorating and the food selection was wonderful with a really nice mix of appetizers, main dishes and desserts. As you can see, I put too much food on my plate!

And did you notice something else? I’m sorry girls, I have a sweet tooth. I had too much of that yummy apple and walnut cake that Vallen brought and I just couldn’t help myself with Darla’s lemon squares — I cut a square that was WAY too big, but it sure was good!

I have a long history of potlucks (not, I’m not Lutheran!) and casseroles in my family, so of course, I brought a casserole. It’s a family favorite that I grew up with — MeMum makes the best casseroles. I marched right up to the buffet table, plopped my casserole dish down and filled up my plate. And did you see that carmel apple cider that Vallen mentioned? OhMyGosh — I love carmel apples, so I have to see if I can find some of that cider in my local store.

Beef Stroganoff Casserole

1 lb. ground beef
1 cup chopped onions
1 12-oz. can whole kernal corn, drained
1 can cream of chicken soup
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 cup dairy sour cream
3 cups medium noodles
Grated Cheese

Boil noodles until tender and drain while preparing the rest of the casserole. Lightly brown the beef. Add chopped onion and cook until tender. Drain excess grease. Add corn, chicken soup, mushroom soup, and sour cream. Salt and pepper to taste. Mix well. Add noodles to hamburger mixture and pour into 2 qt. casserole dish and top with grated cheese. Bake 30 – 35 minutes at 350 degrees.

When I was little MeMum would leave the corn out of the casserole, ’cause MyDadLovesMeBestSister and I were picky little girls, but I was lucky to have hearty-eating little boys, so now I leave the corn in. Here’s a better picture of how this casserole looked the last time I prepared it for TheManoftheHouse. It’s one of his favorites too!

XOXO,

  1. All that food looks delish Anna. With reference to your question on my blog (that sounds grown up doesn’t it?) “Dippy Eggs and Soldiers” are soft-boiled eggs with little strips of toast to dip in the top. My two youngest absolutely love them and will always ask for them if they come home from school for lunch or if they’ve been poorly. Unfortunately my sister Ally absolutely hates eggs and never even liked to sit next to anyone at breakfast who was having fried eggs with their bacon! So I was just being really sisterly-horrid to her! Especially about the runny-ness of the egg yolks!

  2. oooh! love that stroganoff recipe…Maisie was only asking me what a stroganoff was this very evening! Honest…I told her it was something to do with beef, alcohol and cream but I really can’t wait to try your yummy version!

  3. Your plate looks like mine did. Always does, I should say. My eyes are biger than my tummey. I am going to post your stroganoff casserole. People should know about it. Thanks so much for joining in on the fun.

  4. I was hungry before I checked your blog… now I’m drooling. Thanks for your recipe! It looks like a good mid-week dinner for us as we both have a lot going on and this could be ready to pop into the oven. Yummers!!

  5. How wonderful that you visisted the big pit. I’ve only been there once on a visit when I was at school. It sure is dark and cold down there isn’t it

  6. Oh, gosh, that’s the thing about stopping in to visit you, Anna! You always make me hungry! The casserole looks yummy. And I’m guessing it has no calories or grams of fat, right? Yep, that’s what I thought!
