Ken's Hearty Thanksgiving Hotdish Casserole

A different take on the classic shepherds pie, except it uses scalloped potatoes instead of mashed.

I think this was a Pinterest find and a good one at that. I have to hand write my "finds" or I never find them again! The nice thing about this is it keeps well, slices nicely and kept me from making breakfast for three or four days.

I started making this several years ago when we were having trouble making ends meet and only had a random assortment of food in the house, aside from ramen noodles of course. We had a half a roll of sausage, half a bag hashbrowns, some green beans, some gravy mix, and some cheese. There wasn't really enough of anything to make anything, so I just threw it all in a pan. Much to our surprise and delight, I had just created our new favorite dinner!*It is hard to plate it and make it look nice, but the taste more than makes up for that!!*Also, I have tried it with many different vegetables, but green beans worked the best. Fresh or frozen broccoli would be good as well, but then my husband wouldn't eat it, lol.

Absolutely a wonderful way to re-use leftovers! :chef

Original recipe was from Pillsbury, however I've made some major/minor tweaks to significantly improve it. Play around to make the version you enjoy most! Thank you for viewing!

This happened because I had 2 handfuls of fresh garden beans from my yard and wasn't sure how I was going to get the kids to eat them! 🤣 Also I didnt have very much, (as my beans were just starting to come at the time) and I needed to spread it out and beef it up a bit! 👌😉 This turned out to be a Delicious and Healthy afternoon snack for my family that we had picked that morning from our yard.🙏🥰😏 (*parental side note: for the record, purple garden beans turn green when boiled, I didnt know this🤭, and so my picky eater children didnt even know the difference! 😆🤫😁 Teeheehee) #onerecipeonetree #greenbeancasserole #stuffing #casserolebake #sides

Great way to use up leftovers or you can start from scratch. It's quick and delicious! Hope you like it!! :)

I wanted something cheesy with tater tots and chicken so this happened!

fast, easy and tastes great! perfect for holidays or anytime! no heating up the house!

The only casserole my hubs will eat. It’s got meat, veggies and taters. What more could a “meat and potatoes man” want?#GlobalApron 2024

I wanted to use up some leftover turkey i froze from Thanksgiving and this is my different take on a Leftover Thanksgiving Casserole 😊

Me and my wife wanted to try something new other than tator tot casserole and decided to change up some ingredients
