The Best Casserole Cookbook Ever | Beatrice Ojakangas

#Mtcookbook Up today, variation on pumpkin pie.

I‘m using one of my vintagy Watkins pie plates I found in a secondhand shop. They are the heavy ceramic types with recipes imprinted on them. I didn‘t know Watkins ever sold pie plates! (Watkins is an old spice company in our region.)

mabell I‘ve never come across one of those plates! We have Watkins around here too. How did the variation turn out?? 1y

SamAnne I have one! Didnt know the history. 1y

LeahBergen We have Watkins in Canada, too. I have one of their old cookbooks that belonged to my grandmother. 1y

janeycanuck What a pretty pie plate! I love Watkins cinnamon, it‘s my go-to. 1y

Tamra @mabell rave reviews from the family, which I‘m not surprised because it‘s richer and spicer than the more traditional recipe. I don‘t have a sweet tooth, but I did have a bite while serving and give it 👍🏾👍🏾. 1y

Tamra @SamAnne which recipe is in yours? I explored the history on their website when I found the pie plates and it was fun. (edited) 1y

Tamra @LeahBergen it‘s amazing how successful the company became given how humble its beginnings! How wonderful you have your grandmother‘s cookbook, those are the best. ❤️ Warm & fuzzy feelings. I keep my eye out for a Watkins cookbook, but no luck yet! 1y

Tamra @janeycanuck Frequently I buy their vanilla. 😋 1y

#Mtcookbook Basically, a variation on Mac & Cheese. 😋 This is common cooking in my house. I look at the leftovers in the fridge and pantry and find a suitable way to use them up. This was very tasty, per the hubby. I made it quite a bit spicer than the recipe directed. 🌶️

mabell That sounds good! 1y

LeahBergen I love a casserole! 1y

Tamra @LeahBergen you might like this book then - it‘s a chunkster with a lot of variety and she doesn‘t use can cream soups. (Not that I‘m above using a can soup when time pressed.) (edited) 1y

Bookzombie Sounds yummy! 1y

Tamra @Bookzombie it was! I wish there were more leftovers. @mabell (edited) 1y

RebelReader This looks so enticing. Except I call them hot dishes not casseroles! 🤣🤣🤣 2y

Tamra @RebelReader I mentioned that to my husband! She is a Minnesotan, but I‘m guessing the publisher thought people outside the Midwest wouldn‘t know a hot dish. 😆 2y

RebelReader @tamra I think you‘re right! Whatever we call them, they are delicious! 2y
