When I first saw a cookbook called The Best Casserole Cookbook Ever, I knew it was going to have a space on my shelf, especially now that I'm trying to trim down the amount of money going out of my bank account. So I went through the book and picked out four casseroles that met three criteria: 1) they sounded appetizing, 2) they were easy (no multiple steps), and 3) they didn't have a long, expensive ingredient list. Tonight I made the first casserole on my list, but I will blog all of them in turn.The casserole for this evening was Finnish Salmon Casserole. It's basically matchstick potatoes, matchstick onions, and cubed salmon fillets. I decided to go with plain sliced potatoes and onions since I'm lazy, and I didn't feel like cutting a bunch of matchsticks. I layered everything in the dish, poured the milk and cream over the top, shook some breadcrumbs on top, and baked away. The casserole smelled amazing as it was cooking (I love the sweet smell of baking onions), but when I went to taste it, it was rather bland. I think the recipe definitely needs some sort of spice, maybe dill? But for how easy it was to throw together, I can't really complain. I plan to get about four meals out of it, and I figure it came out to about $3.50 a meal for this casserole (mainly because I didn't get the salmon on sale).
