Here's a vegetarian casserole that looks good.

Spaghetti Squash Casserole (Real Simple)

1 3-pound spaghetti squash, halved lengthwise and seeded
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 15-ounce container ricotta
1 large egg
4 cups baby spinach, chopped
1 garlic clove, chopped
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
kosher salt and black pepper
2 cups grated mozzarella (1/2 pound)

Heat oven to 400 F. Place the squash on a rimmed baking sheet, drizzle the cut sides with the oil, place cut-side down, and roast until tender, 40 to 50 minutes.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the ricotta, egg, spinach, garlic, nutmeg, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper.
With a fork, gently scrape out the strands of flesh and add to the ricotta mixture. Mix gently to combine.

Transfer the mixture to an 8-inch square baking dish, sprinkle with the mozzarella, and bake until browned and bubbling, 18 to 22 minutes.

So good to "see" you, jasdip!! I bet that spaghetti squash is really good. I love the stuff, but Harry not so much. Bet he'd like it this way.

Ginger's Crockpot Beef recipe is one of DH's favorites!

FYI, I tried to touch base with Ginger, not too long ago.
Didn't hear back from her.
Last time I saw her, she was planning on retiring this year and moving back to the states. She hadn't decided where though.

So I supposed she's retired and made her move.

since we are talking superbowl recipes this is one my husband always asks for we both love it. Great for cold weather.

Black Bean Creole

Ingredients

3 pounds smoked sausage, cut into 1-inch pieces
5 cans (15 ounces each) black beans, partially drained
1-1/2 cups onions, chopped
1-1/2 cups green pepper, chopped
1-1/2 cups celery, chopped
4 cloves garlic, chopped
2 teaspoons leaf thyme
1-1/2 teaspoons leaf oregano
1-1/2 teaspoons black pepper
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 chicken bouillon cube
5 bay leaves
8 ounces tomato sauce
1 cup water
Instructions

Combine all ingredients in a crockpot. Cover and cook on low 8 hours or high 4 hours. Remove bay leaves. Serve with corn chips, cheese and sour cream. Or over cooked rice.

I like mine with blue corn tortilla chips crumbled on top and some grated colby jack cheese. This recipe makes plenty to share! (I have also added shredded cooked rotisserie chicken to this along with sausage and it is good)

I made this dish for my DSis and BIL the other night and it was delicious!.......Laurel

Ingredients

6 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 onion, thinly sliced
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
1 teaspoon dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme

Directions

1. Season chicken breasts with ground black pepper and garlic salt. Heat olive oil in a medium skillet, and brown the onion and seasoned chicken breasts.

2. Pour tomatoes and balsamic vinegar over chicken, and season with basil, oregano, rosemary and thyme. Simmer until chicken is no longer pink and the juices run clear, about 15 minutes.

My family loves this dip.

Cheese Dip
==========
1 lb. land of lakes brand white american cheese
4 sm. cans green chilies, I use 3 cans and about half a can of rotel
1 pint whipping cream, I use half & half

In sauce pan on low heat cube cheese, add green chilies and rotel. Add cream to desired consistancy!
Sometimes I also add garlic powder.

Hi Laurel, hope you're enjoying your visit. You're missed here!!

Glenda, I hope you hear from Ginger when she gets settled--if she retired.

I bet that cheese dip is great with tortilla chips, or maybe pumpernickel bread cubes. Can't beat a recipe with cheese AND cream :-)

Ravencajun, your recipes always have me copying and pasting. That sounds like another winner.
