Mix and Match Casserole
An easy yet delicious recipe. I followed the recipe, and used whatever I had on hand. Then just mixed them up, and baked in the oven until the cheese was nicely browned. I let the casserole rest for about 10 minutes, then served it. Overall a great dish.

Spoon into a lightly greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish .
Bake, covered, at 350℉ (180℃) F for 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Uncover and sprinkle with Toppings; bake 10 more minutes.
Invent your own one-dish combinations, switching ingredients for variety.
We stirred together the following mixtures and liked the easy preparation.
Each casserole bakes 1 hour and 20 minutes, eliminating the need to precook the pasta or rice.

This was my lazy way...I did one can of cream of celery soup with chicken (pre-cooked leftovers), cauliflower and sweet potato rice (frozen mixed bag). My extras were a purple onion and minced garlic (yum!). I skipped the sour cream and put about a cup of milk. I only had shredded cheddar cheese so I made that my topping.

People always modify recipes and this accounts for a variety of combinations.
I thought mine turned out pretty good, so I will share. This is using leftover thanksgiving food and mixing in a 9x13 dish. I used:
2 cups jasmine rice
over 2 years agoApprox. 2 cups chopped turkey
Approx. 2.5 cups leftover stuffing
Approx. 2.5 cups leftover green bean casserole
Broccoli pieces
Shredded cheddar topping (used whole bag)
Sauce I used as recommended. Although I was nervous about adding the cup of water.
Mixed together in dish
Ended up cooking for 1 hour 10 min.
Thank you, the sauce was perfect!
I forgot to say, I used cream of mushroom soup as my sauce maker and in case i wasn’t clear before - I used the recommended cup of water in the sauce...
