What would YOU do if you sat down to this?
And so, what does our Cuisinally Courageous Community here on CC think about casseroles?
* Are casseroles really a crime of humanity? Why or why not?
* What are some casseroles you love -- and some that you loathe?
* Were you raised on casseroles but have grown up -- leaving them behind? Do you/will you feed them to your own family?
That doesn't look appealing at all to me, but I might try it just 'cause I'm weird like that. And I mean, I'd only try it lol.
Anyway, I love casseroles. And I do not think they are a crime of humanity. I didn't really grow up with very many casseroles. I didn't grow up in a church going family. I grew up with my grandparents in the country and they ran a bar lol. My meals were country meals and backwoods meals.
Anyway, I like casseroles because some are very tasty and as you said they are comforting. I used to make white trash casserole (many people call it tator tot casserole) often because it was a comfort food to me.
Breakfast casserole is another one I've made several times. Southern squash casserole is definitely a fave (but it's only a fave if I make it lol). There are others. I don't see why people are against them. To each there own. To me, they are tasty, comforting, can be fun to make, and the leftovers can be equally or even more comforting.
What's not comforting to me...I don't want gelatin in my casserole! That's horrid (to me). Mackerel also won't ever be found in my casseroles. I don't really have anything against mackerel, I just don't want it in my casseroles.[/QUOTE]
