Tomato Soup and Grilled Cheese Casserole
This tomato soup and grilled cheese casserole tastes like the classic combo: Campbell's tomato soup with grilled cheese sandwiches. The baked-in grilled cheese cubes are golden, melty, and delicious.
Baked Apple French Toast Casserole
The biggest challenge you'll have with this apple French toast casserole is that there's usually never enough. It makes an 11x7-inch pan and is easily devoured by my wife, my son, and me. Quick, easy, and oh-so delicious. Top with maple syrup and powdered sugar to your liking.
Gluten-Free Scalloped Potatoes
This very easy scalloped potatoes recipe tastes great and is gluten-free. The first few times I made this I used extra sharp Cheddar and Parmesan cheese and we thought it was great. More recently I substituted Jarlsberg for the Cheddar and omitted the Parmesan. My husband and I liked this version even better! Experiment and let me know what's good!
