AMAZING SPINACH ARTICHOKE CASSEROLE



Amazing Spinach Artichoke Casserole image

This is a family favorite...spinach, fresh mushrooms, artichokes and cheeses make up a mouth-watering side dish that is creamy and delicious. This recipe has a lot of steps, but it is relatively easy and is well worth it. If you are a garlic lover, add an additional clove or two of pressed garlic to the mixture without roasting it first. This is my most requested vegetable casserole recipe, and it is a Thanksgiving favorite.

Time 1h30m

Yield 16

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 cloves garlic, unpeeled
4 (10 ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach - thawed, drained and squeezed dry
1 (14 ounce) can artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
¼ cup butter
1 (8 ounce) package sliced fresh mushrooms
3 green onions, finely chopped
1 (8 ounce) package cream cheese
1 cup sour cream
1 (8 ounce) can water chestnuts, drained and chopped
¾ cup grated Parmesan cheese
¾ cup real mayonnaise
2 teaspoons garlic salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 cup French fried onion rings

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Place garlic cloves in a small oven-safe dish, and roast in the preheated oven until softened and fragrant, about 20 minutes. Set roasted garlic cloves aside to cool.
  • Place the spinach in a large mixing bowl, and stir in the artichoke hearts.
  • Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat, and cook and stir the mushrooms until softened, about 10 minutes. Mix in the green onions, and cook and stir until onions are soft, about 5 more minutes. Transfer the mushrooms, green onions, and butter from the skillet into the bowl with spinach mixture.
  • Remove cream cheese from wrapping, place into a microwave-safe bowl, and cook in the microwave until warm and very soft, about 1 1/2 minutes. Stir the softened cream cheese into the spinach mixture, and add the sour cream, water chestnuts, Parmesan cheese, mayonnaise, garlic salt, and lemon juice. Squeeze the roasted garlic out of the garlic skins, and mix thoroughly into the spinach mixture. Spoon the casserole into a round 2-quart baking dish.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until the casserole is hot and bubbly, about 30 minutes. Spread French-fried onion rings over the top, return to the oven, and bake until the onion rings are lightly browned, 5 to 10 more minutes.

PAULA DEEN'S AMAZING CHICKEN CASSEROLE RECIPE - (4.6/5)



Paula Deen's Amazing Chicken Casserole Recipe - (4.6/5) image

Provided by JUDY2949

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups chicken, cooked, cut in small bite-sized pieces
4 cups pasta, cooked and drained (approximately 2 cups uncooked); penne, cavatappi, or rigatoni works well
3 tablespoons butter
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tablespoons flour
1/2 cup sour cream
1 cup milk
3 cups cheese, grated (cheddar, colby jack, Swiss, or a combination), with 1/2 cup reserved for sprinkling on top
1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes
salt and black pepper to taste

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F. Lightly grease the inside of a 9x13-inch baking dish. In a large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and cook the onion and garlic until the onion is translucent, about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the flour and whisk together for about 1 minute, this will allow the flour to cook just a little before adding the other ingredients. Add the sour cream and milk, and continue whisking until the mixture has thickened. Remove from heat and add all but ½ cup of the cheese. Add the red pepper flakes, salt, and black pepper, cooked chicken, and cooked pasta. Stir together, then layer evenly in the bottom of the prepared baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese evenly over the top of the casserole and bake for 30 minutes or until the cheese on top is melted and the sauce is bubbly. Remove the casserole and let it sit for about 15 minutes prior to serving.

Tips:

  • Choose the right casserole dish: Select a casserole dish that is large enough to hold all of the ingredients without overcrowding, but not so large that the food cooks unevenly. A 9x13-inch dish is a good standard size for most casseroles.
  • Brown the meat before adding it to the casserole: Browning the meat helps to develop flavor and prevent it from becoming dry. If the recipe calls for ground beef or sausage, brown it in a skillet over medium heat until it is no longer pink. If the recipe calls for chicken or pork, brown it in a skillet over medium-high heat until it is golden brown.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add flavor, texture, and nutrients to casseroles. Some good choices include carrots, celery, onions, broccoli, cauliflower, and green beans. You can also use frozen or canned vegetables, but be sure to drain them well before adding them to the casserole.
  • Use a thickener: A thickener helps to bind the ingredients in a casserole and prevent it from becoming watery. Some common thickeners include flour, cornstarch, and bread crumbs. You can also use a can of cream of mushroom soup or cream of chicken soup as a thickener.
  • Add some cheese: Cheese is a classic casserole ingredient that adds flavor, richness, and a golden brown crust. You can use any type of cheese that you like, but cheddar, mozzarella, and Parmesan are all good choices.
  • Bake the casserole until it is bubbly and golden brown: The cooking time for a casserole will vary depending on the recipe, but most casseroles should be baked for at least 30 minutes. Insert a toothpick into the center of the casserole; if it comes out clean, the casserole is done.

Conclusion:

Casseroles are a delicious and easy way to feed a crowd. They are also a great way to use up leftovers vegetables. With so many different recipes to choose from, there is sure to be a casserole that everyone will enjoy.
