I've read over and over how all you ladies take your leftovers and make a casserole out of them. Although I like to cook, I'm so up tight about cooking, rarely do I experiment, for fear of making something that does not taste good. This concept of just taking anything and everything and throwing it together in a casserole is a concept that is hard for me to accept. lol I'm trying to loosen up, trying to fix new and different things for my family, and learn more BASICS of cooking, something I was not taught. I watch cooking shows ALL THE TIME, and have learned so much from you and them.

The main thing I have learned is cooking doesnt have to be an exact/perfect science.

I asked a couple of you for instruction on how you make these leftover casseroles. It seems like the main thing is to use a cream soup for the base on your casserole. In the cookbook I picked up (Campbell Cookbook, Cooking With Soup) at a thrift store it has these recipes in it... basically the very same thing the ladies told me on the message board. Thanks ladies!

Souper Leftovers
leftover roast, steak, or chicken chopped (about 1 cup)
leftover vegetables (about 1/2 cup)
1 can (10.5 oz) condensed cream of celery
milk or water as needed
crisp toast slices

Combine all ingredients except toast. Heat and serve on toast or in hot patty shells. A tasty way to "make a meal" out of small amounts of meats and vegetables.
Variations: Substitute cream of chicken, mushroom, or tomato soup for cream of celery soup.

I'm thinking leftover beef roast with some leftover green beans in cream of mushroom soup would be really good this way!

Here's the second recipe from the book:

Soup Plus
A pattern recipe to use as you like with foods you have on hand

1/2 cup cooked meat, cut in strips
1 TBL butter or margarine
1 can any Campbells soup
1 soup can milk or water
1/2 cup cooked vegetables

Cook meat in butter until lightly browned. Add remaining ingredients. Heat; stir often. 2 to 3 servings.

This is almost like the first recipe. They will double simply enough. I think either would be good dumped into a 9x13 and topped with biscuits or tator tots with cheese.

Sweet & Sour Country Style Ribs

1 large pkg. Boneless Country style ribs (you can use bone in as well). Boil in pot of water for about 15 minutes. Drain water. Place ribs in Lg. baking pan (9x13). Prepare sauce and pour over ribs (I always double the sauce. It's great on mashed potatoes). Cover with foil and Bake at 350 for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Meat should be very tender (almost fall apart).

Sauce:
2 TBS vinegar
2 TBS brown sugar
1 Cup Ketchup
3 TBS Worcestershire
1 Tsp prepared mustard
2 TBS lemon juice
1/2 Cup water
1 small onion chopped & browned
Mix all ingredients
(You can use this sauce to cook roasts in also).

Grammy G's Graham Cracker Cookies

1 stick butter
1 stick margarine
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup chopped walnuts
graham crackers

Preheat oven to 350. Line a cookie sheet with heavy foil. Break graham crackers along the dotted lines, and place in a single layer on the cookie sheet (try to cover as much of the sheet with crackers as you can!). Melt butter, margarine, and sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Bring to a boil. Boil for 2 minutes. Remove from heat and add chopped nuts. Pour the mixture over the graham crackers and spread evenly. Bake for 10 minutes at 350. After they are cool, just break apart and eat. These are delicious and so easy to make. Great when you want something sweet and have no flour, eggs, chocolate chips, etc.

DANA'S DESSERT

2 packages crescent rolls
2 packages cream cheese, softened
1 cup sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 stick butter, melted
sugar
cinnamon

Preheat oven to 350. Spray bottom of a 13 X 9 pan. Roll out one package of crescent rolls on the bottom of the pan; set aside. Combine cream cheese, sugar, and vanilla; mix well. Spread cream cheese mixture over crescent rolls. Unroll second package of crescent rolls and place on top of cream cheese mixture. Pour melted butter over top. Sprinkle as much cinnamon and sugar over top that you want. Bake until golden and crescent rolls are done. Serve warm for best taste. It's also good cold. We like to add icecream too!

Teriyaki Glaze
(technically for Chicken, butI use it on beef - it's awesome on flank steak as a glaze)

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 teaspon grated fresh ginger (I use a microplane, and always keep my ginger frozen - scape the skin off with a spoon)

1 medium garlic clove - minced (again, I use my trusty microplane)

2 tablespoons mirin (sweetened rice wine - not vinegar - available in asian markets)

1/2 teaspoon cornstarch

Combine all ingredients but mirin and cornstarch in a sauce pan. Stir cornstarch into mirin until there are no lumps, then add to rest of the ingredients. Bring sauce to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce heat and simmer for about 5 minutes - until reduced to 3/4 cup.

Better than A-1 Marinade
(I use this on every type of beef imaginable - even throw a little in burgers, it's a great flavoring)

1/2 cup soy sauce
1/3 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons dark brown sugar
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
4 medium garlic cloves minced (I use my microplane)

2 tablespoons minced chives
1 1/3 teaspons black pepper

Simply throw all ingredients together - reserve 1/4 cup of marinade and add 2 teaspons balsamic vinegar for a sauce at the table. It's that easy, and trust me, fantastic (unless I've typed the recipe wrong)!
