The "Oh My God, You Invited Company And Didn't Tell Me"
Casserole
From: Leta Nolan Childers
Too often, my beloved husband has come home from work, kicked back at his computer
and over the course of reviewing his private email dropped the bombshell, "Honey, forgot
to tell you I invited company for dinner." Because homicide carries a mandatory life
sentence here, even for the best of reasons, I devised this recipe, which has somehow
become a family favorite even when we don't have company.
Crust:
1/4 cup butter
2
"rolls" of Ritz crackers (or similar variety), finely crushed
Salt, pepper
Plastic wrap
Casserole:
1
lb. hamburger (although, in a pinch, two cans drained tuna will work or 1 can of corned
beef or even 1 can of Spam, diced)
1
1
2
small onion, chopped coarsely
tbsp. garlic, chopped
cups pasta (whatever you have in the cupboard--macaroni, spaghetti, rotini, I've even
broken up lasagna noodles and used those)
1
1
1
can green beans, drained
can diced carrots, drained
can Campbell's Golden Mushroom soup (again, you can pretty much substitute any
cream based soup.)
1
cup milk
A bit of olive oil
Topping:
1
tube refrigerator dinner rolls
Preheat oven to 350F.
To make the crust:
Over low heat, melt butter. Crush Ritz crackers. (A great inspiration for getting those
crackers crushed really fine is to think of how my husband put me in this predicament.)
Combine the crushed crackers with the melted butter. Press the mixture into the bottom
and along the sides of a 2-quart casserole, spritzed with non-stick vegetable spray. Use
plastic wrap to hold the crust in place and store in the refrigerator while you assemble the
rest of the casserole.
