Fall Casserole!

Freezer Meals have saved my life!

Every 4-5 weeks I spend a Saturday in the kitchen cooking and then poof- my freezer has a months worth of meals!

When Case was born my neighbor made us this delicious Fall Casserole! I'm not sure where her recipe came from but here is my take- (it is delicious and YES, even my girls ate it!)

Fall Casserole:

Package of vermicelli noodles

1 pound ground chuck

1 onion chopped

1 tsp minced garlic

8 ounces fresh mushrooms, sliced

1 small jar of chopped green olives

1 (10oz) can tomato purée 

1/2 tsp House Seasoning (from Paula Deen)

2 cups shredded sharp cheddar

Preheat oven to 350

Cook pasta. Brown and drain ground beef with onion and garlic, drain.

Stir in mushrooms and olives, simmer for 3 minutes, stirring frequently.

Mix tomato purée with 11/2 cups of water and add to beef mixture

Season to taste and stir in 11/2 cups of cheese

Pour mixture in to two 8x8 aluminum pans

Sprinkle with remaining cheese.

Cover with Press n Seal and put in freezer bag. Freeze.

Thaw- and cook 350 for 30 min!!

It was great!!!
