I hate wasting food. I get super creative using up leftovers, because my family doesn’t seem to like just eating leftovers. I like to take them for lunch, but that’s not always enough not to waste food. Recently, I made a big pork roast and didn’t know what to do with all the leftovers. When I don’t have a solid plan, I dump everything in the fridge into a baking dish and call it a casserole! Here’s my latest creation.
This is a dump casserole. I wanted rice for this casserole. I am a fantastic cook, but I can’t make rice. It either comes out too mushy or too crunchy. So, I invested in a rice cooker! Heck yes! Perfect rice every time. I got this one off of Amazon:
I made two cups of rice for this recipe. You’ll want to combine your rice and your leftovers…I had the pork and peas. People in my house don’t really like peas, so I hide them in casseroles 🙂 I also added about a cup of cheddar cheese, a can of cream of mushroom soup, about a half cup on french fried onions, and a cup of milk. Smush it all together and pop it in a baking dish.
Bake this beauty for about 30 minutes at 400 degrees. Then, top it with a bunch more cheddar cheese and the rest of the can of french fried onions. Bake for another 10 minutes until the cheese is melted and the onions are browned. Enjoy!
So don’t be afraid to dump the contents of your fridge in a pan and tie it together with cheese!
