The Casserole Queens Cookbook: Put Some Lovin' in Your Oven with 100 Easy One-Dish Recipes

I made the Chicken and Rice dish, first recipe try out of the book, and it was chicken and rice soup. Ingredients list calls for 4 cups of chicken broth, but the recipe actually only uses 2.5 cups of broth. I don't know how any of the other recipes are, but our first cook from this book was not good. Pay very close attention, and be sure to compare the ingredients list to the full page of directions, or your dish may not turn out!

This is the Casserole Queens second cookbook. A New York Times, Best Seller, and with high praise from none other than, Bobby Flay, on the cover. The first recipe I tried was the Pile HIgh Frittata. It includes the ingredients based on a Denver Omlette, for the best breakfast casserole I have ever tasted. Shared the recipe with friends and now their all time favorite breakfast casserole too. This book has more of the 9 x 13 casseroles, with several seafood options, and included breakfast casseroles at the end of the book. Homemade cream of mushroom and cream of chicken soups to use in recipes, instead of the canned versions. Bobby Flay loved their savory lasagna and the caramel bread pudding. If you are looking for recipes that will perk up mealtime at your house, this book delivers. Both of their cookbooks make it easy to make a great family meal, put a casserole in the freezer for another day and allow you to make enough food to share with a family member that may not be able to cook for themselves. With the dietary notes, pretty much solves all the cooking challenges cooking for family presents.

Good recipes, so far. We had the Corndog Casserole based on another reviewers raves, and it was indeed delicious. Next I want to try the Beef Burgundy with a couple of the side dishes when I have company over for dinner. But, one thing I noticed is that some of the recipes sounded familiar. I've seen the very same Broccoli Cornbread in another cookbook, as well as quite a few others. In fact, the Jiffy-Mix Company came up with that recipe first. I don't think these recipes are theirs, but lifted from other sources not noted in the recipe. Don't say "their recipes" on the back cover if they are not indeed theirs.

I purchased this cookbook thinking it would be full of good old comfort food casserole recipes that would be easy and quick to prepare. I was very disappointed that most of the entree recipes are lengthy and time consuming and not what my family would eat. Sorry I wasted my money.

I don't purchase many cookbooks anymore...relying instead upon past success or the internet for inspiration. Also, I now find myself cooking for either 1 or 2...or a mob! I no longer have the patience or expertise to spend a whole day at making a dinner, enjoying instead the convenience of "make-aheads" that are tasty and simple. And here is where this book shines....it's practical, innovative and stimulating. This book has stayed on my counter top rather than being relegated to the book shelves. It'll get a lot of use in the months ahead. I've even cleaned out my freezer to make room for a "make-ahead" or two!!!)

Some great tips in the beginning, with assessment if that particular casserole is a good candidate for freezing. One dish baking versions of pizza, quiche etc, with option of quick use of Bisquick or use their 'from scratch' biscuit mix. I am high altitude (8,000') and am having to learn to adjust cooking times longer. Also they provide some breakfast and dessert casseroles. Also there is some veggie options, but not too much low calorie. I enjoyed the fun presentation. I may be able to bring something besides cups and paper plates to the next potluck.

These recipes are pretty good and mostly easy. Some of them take a lot of ingredients which isn't really my thing but that is what cooking is all about! The recipes are similar to the semi-homemade style where many of the ingredients are bought in cans or boxed already prepared parts of the dish. A can of this a can of that type of thing. The only problem I have with that type cooking is the sodium levels are out of the roof. But other than that as long as you don't mind dying sooner, the food is really good.

I just received the Casserole Queen's Cookbook. After looking through all those tasty sounding recipes, I decided on the Broccoli Cornbread. It was so easy to prepare and tasted delicious. We had guests over when I made it and everyone kept going back for more. This will definitely be one of those "go to" recipes when I need to take something to a social activity and want to wow everyone. I've also noticed that after observing the family, it is good as leftovers. I am certainly looking forward to trying the other recipes in this exciting new cookbook.

This is a nice cookbook for working people...nice and simple casseroles...am pleased with it...going to purchase another one for my Daughter and Daughter in Law I think this would be a nice gift for anyone who likes to cook...

Great recipes, want to make them all. Easy to read and follow. Will look for more of their books for sure.

Expected something new and different.This is standard casserole recipes that have been around for yearsQuite disappointed
