We love casseroles! Although I am not so fond of the ones with the cream
soup but I do make them sometimes for my daughter because she loves them.

I used to do a lot of them with sliced potatoes, ground beef and whatever
veggies I had around. Almost always had celery and onions in there. Maybe
a little gravy if I had it, otherwise moistend with a little broth.

I love all kinds of Mexican type casseroles. My mom made the Dortio one. I
can't remember what all was in it. I have recently seen some for Doritos
but they're not the same. I know that hers had ground beef. Perhaps
tomatoes and cheese. It was very good! I've made them with tortillas. I
like the kind with the cornbread top.

I've done all sorts of Italian ones. Eggplant Rollatine, baked polenta with
red sauce.

Many, many different things. Heck, even some pot pies would be considered
casseroles!
