The Kitchen sink Casserole

We’ve all been there. You need to fix a meal. You have 2,897 recipes in your book (or on your computer), plus another 13,465,326 recipes on the internet, and none of them fit. The fridge and shelves are full, to overflowing, with stuff and what are you going to cook? Read more I call the answer to this “Kitchen Sinkitis”. Throw heaps of stuff at a pot, pan or oven and see what sticks. Will it be a masterpiece or a disaster? This is not really a recipe. This is an idea tree. Take what you want and chuck out what you don’t want and maybe, just maybe you’ll get something edible. I start with the basics; things you should always have in your kitchen and work up to some exotic stuff you may never have in your kitchen. The idea here is to make a casserole and I don’t even give amounts. Just pick and choose and set your own amounts. Many of you can do this with your left hand and some will struggle. If this is useless to you, give me one fork, I don’t count forks anyway (always judge your judges). If it helps then I am rewarded. Good cooking. See less

How to make it
- 1. Plan the meal and cook what’s first, first. The pasta, rice, potatoes, kasha.
- 2. Prep your basics as needed. Brown the meat, bird or fish, as needed
- 3. Get your veggies and front end additions prepped and ready.
- 4. When the parts are ready pick your spices and additions and get those ready.
- 5. Get a big bowl and put it together. Mix with sense. Put in your spices, milk, water, wine, cheese and such first and mix. Add solids and chunks and pre cooked stuff next and mix and then the stuff you want to gently fold in last.
- 6. Put it in your casserole dish and bake for the required time.
- I picked a casserole, not sure why except I made one of these a week or so ago; it wasn’t your great cooking event but not a disaster either. This same system (with a few changes) will work for a stew or a fry-up. This system, if you can get the spices and proportions right, works super for a slow cooker or a nuclear furnace. How well it turns out depends on what’s in the pantry and how well you mix and match. Best of British luck and lol ( does that mean laugh a lot, lots of luck or leave off living, whatever?).
