2 Tbsp minced onion
2 Tbsp minced green pepper
2 c diced franks (about 5)
1/8 tsp curry powder
1/2 tsp salt
1 can(s) condensed cream-of-chucken soup, undiluted
2 c cooked noodles

Tips:

  • Choose the Right Casserole Dish: Select a casserole dish that is large enough to accommodate all your ingredients and can withstand the heat of the oven.
  • Brown Your Meat: Browning your meat before adding it to the casserole adds flavor and depth to the dish.
  • Don't Overcook Your Noodles: If you are using noodles in your casserole, be sure to cook them according to package directions, but don't overcook them or they will become mushy.
  • Use a Variety of Vegetables: Experiment with different types of vegetables to add color, texture, and nutrients to your casserole.
  • Season Generously: Don't be afraid to season your casserole liberally with herbs, spices, and salt and pepper. This will help bring out the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Top with Cheese: Adding a layer of cheese to the top of your casserole before baking will give it a golden, crispy crust.
  • Let It Rest: Allow your casserole to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the flavors meld together and the casserole set.
