Grandma’s Company Casserole Recipe

I found this one,  handwritten, in a stash of recipes that belonged to my Grandma when she was alive. It is a great Company Casserole Recipe!

Don’t shy away from the longer list of ingredients. This really is a fantastic recipe for company, a potluck or just a family dinner.

Grandma’s Company Casserole Recipe

The stuff:

1 lb ground beef

1 medium onion, chopped

15 oz cream of mushroom soup

1 cup milk

3/4 cup sharp cheddar cheese, grated

1 small can sliced ripe olives

1 small container of green olives, sliced

1 can of mushrooms

1/2 cup mixed nuts, chopped into small pieces

8 oz egg noodles, cooked and drained

1 can chow mein noodles

Directions:

Cook the onion and meat together and drain.  Combine with soup and milk. In a large, buttered, oven proof casserole, layer the ingredients in the following order:

• Noodles
• Meat/soup mixture
• Grated cheese
• Olives
• Mushrooms
• Mixed Nuts

Do the layering 2 times if possible.

Cover and bake for 50 minutes, adding the Chinese noodles the last 10 minutes with the cover off.

The combination of ingredients makes for a very interesting taste treat. I served mine with a fruit salad.
