1 (14
ounce) package fully-cooked miniature (cocktail-size) meatballs (if using frozen meatballs, make sure that they are completely thawed before using)
2 cups
shredded mozzarella (or Italian blend) cheese
Optional: Parmesan cheese and fresh chopped herbs (such as basil, oregano, and parsley) for garnish
In a large baking dish, stir together uncooked pasta, marinara sauce, water, andmeatballs. If it’s still too hard, cover the dish and return to the oven until pasta is al dente
Add meatballsand stir to combine. Stir marinara sauce, tomatoes, water, and rice together in a 13-inch by 9-inch baking dish. Bake for 60-75 minutes or until the rice is tender. During the final 5 minutes of cooking, remove dish from oven, uncover, and sprinkle with mozzarella and Parmesan
Top with chicken, green chilies, and frozen corn. Garnish with desired toppings and serve. Spray a 13-by-9-inch casserole dish with cooking spray. Bake, uncovered, for approximately 30 minutes. Remove casserole from oven, sprinkle with tomatoes and shredded cheese, and return to oven for approximately 10 more minutes (or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted)
Stir to combine, then transfer it to a casserole or baking dish and cover with the remaining cheese. Today has been the very first day that I have been able to take a breather and relax from work and school
The following day he came home for lunch and--SURPRISE--Ibaked up this casserole for us to eat. There's something about the combination of seafood and cheese that just weirds people out
I am calling this breakfast bake healthy, because unlike most breakfast casserole recipes, it is made entirely from scratch and with only whole food ingredients
Pasta, meatballsand mozzarella are layered in a baking dish andbaked in oven. Remove from oven and top with the other half of the cheese andbake until the cheese melts
I will make this ahead of time and then just pop it in the oven when I'm ready. Today I didn't have potato chips to sprinkle on top, so instead I used crushed crackers and it was also good
The casserole shown is Monterrey Jack and Sharp Cheddar). This time of year (in between Christmas and Thanksgiving), my fridge gets filled up with Tupperware and plastic wrapped half used ingredients
I bake bacon rather than pan fry. The sweet cinnamon, the salty-smoky bacon, and the crunchy pecans all come together in this easy breakfast casseroleand creates absolute magic that your whole family will love
Add the garlic and red pepper flakes ad cook until fragrant, about a minute. Season with salt and pepper to taste, mix in the cheese and parsley and enjoy
To start building the casserole, spoon a small amount of the cheese /tomato mixture into the bottom of the prepared baking dish and spread evenly, lay out four tortilla shells on top of the cheese, covering the bottom of the pan
If you want to avoid deep frying which you totally can, you can bake them in the oven and lightly roast them on a pan later (again, roasting is optional)
