Casseroles to Save Cash, Part 2

Tonight I made my second casserole in my effort to save some cash. The one I picked was Chicken with Mushrooms and Artichokes. Of course anything with mushrooms makes me happy, so this was definitely something I was looking forward to. The steps in the recipe were a bit long, and I'm still not sure what the tomatoes on the bottom of the casserole were for, but the chicken turned out deliciously tender. The artichokes added a tang to the sauce, and the cream bubbled down into the rice to pull it all together. I think this recipe cost me about $8 total (I used some items that were already in my pantry), so it definitely helped me save money.

One dish meals are always the best. I think it's all the different flavors that come together in a Casseroles that makes them so good.

What's the point of a food blog without recipes? Just showing off?

Thanks Anonymous poster for your nasty comment. I never actually considered that making a cheap casserole was showing off, but okay. Gotta love it.

The reason I don't post most of the recipes I use in detail is because I have not altered the recipe enough to avoid copyright infringement issues with the original publisher. I always provide links to the books on Amazon.com. But of course if you'd like to pay for my legal fees, I'd be happy to put it up.

For everyone else, I'm glad you enjoyed my post. You can find the recipe in the book The Best Casserole Cookbook Ever.
