Allrecipes ~ Shipwreck Casserole

This Shipwreck of a recipe came to me via an e-mail from Allrecipes. I'm not a big fan of e-mails, but I tend to enjoy the ones that have recipes. Not because I will try every single recipe sent to me, don't have the time or money, but I do like eating vicariously through the pictures. Every now and then a recipe that suits my taste, needs and budget comes along. The Shipwreck Casserole was that very one!

I tried it. It was quick, simple and very affordable. It had all my dinner needs in one pot which facilitated an easy clean up. Best of all, after eating it, I can say it was quite delicious and filling. I have not tried it out on kids, but it seems like something they would really like, veggies and all.

It is a great recipe to customize because you can mix and match veggies that you and your family like: Frozen mixed veggies, diced broccoli, diced and roasted zucchini and yellow squash - when in season, chopped spinach, onions, plus drained diced tomatoes. You can add the varying amounts of each to suit your taste. I add them all, in varying amounts, depending on availability. Kick up the flavor with your favorite cheese mixture: American, Extra Sharp Cheddar, Graded Parmesan, Pepper Jack, Gouda, Feta - whatever your family likes will work well in this dish. It is also great as a meatless dish or with plant based meats. It is convenient because you can work with what you have available in your cupboard, freezer or in the garden. Stove top or baked, this easy to make, highly customizable recipe will become a popular standard in your monthly recipe line up. It is at my house, we love it... the Inn patrons love it too! Let me know what you think.

PS: This amazing dish comes by its name honestly, is not the prettiest dish to photograph... But it is delicious! 😋
