Custom Casserole

Me, I love casseroles. But they’re always family meals! Which is why I came up with this single serving thingy, so you don’t have to. Of course, you could do the math and make a big batch. But personally, I just want lunch sometimes. And in sweater weather, what could be more comforting? Well, maybe a giant blondie, but I already told you about that. So, if everyone has a minute to read, let’s get into it!

     First, lemme give you my elevator pitch. This is a classic recipe, that I modified to be single serve. But the buck doesn’t stop with me. Use any soup you want, or make your own! Save what’s left and make another tommorrow, or leave it to your grandchildren. Go crazy! use chicken stock, veggie broth, or whatever you want. And do the same with toppings. Cheese, breadcrumbs, both or neither or something else entirely. There are many recipes like it*, but this one is mine. And with that in mind, you’ll need:

5 oz. fully cooked rice

5 oz. soup (Mushroom works well.)

1/4 cup broth or milk

1 tbspn. toppings

Also, if you want, it’s a good use for left over meat.

      Once you have all that, stir the broth into your soup, and microwave it in a large mug for thirty seconds.A good addition might be frozen peas or carrots, which you can literally thaw by rinsing in your hand Take it out, and mix in your rice. Put it back in the microwave, and give the whole mixture another minute. Add a little time if you want toasty edges. If you don’thave a microwave, you can use a standard oven, just watch closely so it doesn’t burn. Plus, you can prep it in advance!

     When you’ve got it how you like it, set it out, and sprinkle on whatever you chose for a topping! And be careful. I know it looks great, and you’re probably hungry. But give it more time to cool than feels right, because the top will hold heat in, and nobody wants you hurt. All totaled, that didn’t take very long. And now, you can impress your friends, or frighten your enemies. Enjoy!
