Casseroles Need to Die

When compared to traditional dinners featuring a roasted meat, potato, and a vegetable, casseroles don’t stand a chance. Have you had a pork roast slathered in tuscan oil and topped with fresh herbs complimented by a roasted sweet potato and green beans baked with Lipton brown gravy and onion soup mix sprinkeld on top? OMG
Invented at the same time as TV tray tables in the 70′s (another mistake) –casseroles have worn out their welcome. They all involve cheese as a flavor cover-up and feature five ingredients or less. Kill me now.
Break out two chicken breasts on the George Foreman grill and sautee some mushrooms in butter on the stove top to pour over the them. Done. What could be easier? Add Idahoan instant mashed potatoes and nuke a package of frozen niblets corn. Beat that Mr. Casserole. The gauntlet is thrown.
The casserole is grossly over rated.
For the love of God, stop.
