Cooking Cassorole receipies??

[tigercat]

My boss decided that the next meal I have to serve to about 20 people is a cassorole. I don't make them because my family will not eat them. I am not suppose to use chicken or turkey because we had turkey in December. I am not happy with this and hope that any receipy that I get will be okay. If anyone has a good receipy would you please share it with me. Also, it has to not have too many ingredients and be easy to make.

20 guest! Wow.

This came out good for me, but I used frozen vegtables instead. Since you can't use chicken or turkey, this may be a good alternative. I got this off kraftfoods.com. Just type casserole and there are tons of ideas - with pictures!

How many would that serve? The people I am serving are all seniors so all but one will be having small servings. Also, does it look like glop when you serve it?

This is a meal for 4-6 servings. You'd have to double, triple for what you are looking for. No, no glop looks. It's a hearty meal. The site I suggested has other options that may be more appealing.

Here's a slow cooker beef stroganoff that's easy:

I often use allrecipes.com because you can sort receipes by the highest ratings and it also adjusts to the number of servings needed automatically. This link has casseroles by category: chicken, beef, pork, etc. You can click on the Top 20 for each category for ideas.

This is one of our family's favorites and my 86 year old mom really liked it. It does have chicken(I know you said you needed beef) but maybe it would be a good one to use sometimes. I usually put this in a 9X13 casserole pan so one pan probably serves 8-10. (I don't add any extra salt because the wild rice seasonings have enough riced.) Make sure you rinse the green beans, too. Really good. I just made this today. Reheats well. I have this in a Paula Deen cookbook but I copied this off of the Food Network's website- just did a search of Paula Deen Chicken and rice casserole.


2 tablespoons butter or vegetable oil
1 medium onion, peeled and diced
3 cups diced, cooked chicken
2 (14 1/2-ounce) cans green beans, drained and rinsed
1 (8-ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
1 (4-ounce) jar pimentos
1 (10 3/4-ounce) can condensed cream of celery soup
1 cup mayonnaise
1 (6-ounce) box long-grain wild rice, cooked according to package directions
1 cup grated sharp Cheddar
Pinch salt
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.

Heat butter or oil in a small skillet over medium heat. Add onion and saute until translucent, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and transfer to a large bowl.

Add all remaining ingredients to bowl and mix together until thoroughly combined.

Pour into a greased 3-quart casserole dish. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until bubbly. Let stand for a few minutes before serving.

Thanks. I have looked up some of the receipies and found a stuffed peppers sort of. It is a cheaters stuffed pepper. I may run that through with my boss. It sounds easy except I will probably use long grain rice instead of the instant. I don't like instant rice.
