Kyle called and asked for some "Thanksgiving Leftover Casserole" that his mom used to make. "Sure!" I said. He rarely requests food so I was more than happy to make him some. I asked how it was made, and of course he didn't know. I called his mom and she didn't answer... so, I searched allrecipies.com and combined a couple of different casserole's. Kyle and I were both really happy with how it turned out.
It looked a lot like the picture above, but I stole that from google. I used all leftovers. This would be much more time consuming if I made it fresh, or from scratch.. well it was all fresh and from scratch at one point, just not anymore..whatever, it doesn't matter and I think you know what I mean.
Ingredients: Shredded Turkey, enough to fully cover the bottom of a 9x13 pan.
Mashed Potatoes
Green Beans
1 Can cream of mushroom soup
Cubed Cheese
1 Onion
Garlic
left over stuffing, optional
Directions: This is basically a glorified shepherds pie, layer, layer, add some potatoes..
If you are using the left over stuffing thinly layer that on the bottom of the pan; if not, then start with the turkey. Cover the bottom of the pan with the shredded turkey.
Next, cover the turkey with the green beans.
I sauteed the onion chopped it and added it on top of the beans ***I sauteed the onion becuase the casserole wont cook long enough to really cook the onions, i think this way is much more flavorful and just better.
After the onions I added the can of mushroom soup.
Now, this might be the best part! I cut cubes of cheddar cheese and stirred them into the mashed potatoes with garlic. I LOVE garlic and cheesy potatoes. Put this on top and bake at 350 for 30-40 minutes.
