We know that our kids love making sweets and treats, but they also love making dishes that can feed the whole family.  Nothing makes them prouder than being able to say, “I made dinner tonight!” 

Today we have two simple casserole recipes.  They are delicious and nutritious, so let your kids make them up and bake them up (with a little assistance on the oven part).

Cheesy Broccoli and Rice Casserole

2 cups cooked white rice
1 package frozen broccoli or 2 fresh broccoli spears
1/2 large onion
1 jar Cheeze Whiz
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper to taste

Mix everything together and pour into a 9X13 inch casserole dish. Bake at 350F degrees for 20 to 25 minutes.  Optional: Top with ½ cup croutons or bread cubes.

Easy Breakfast Casserole

(For those of us that love breakfast for dinner)

1 box of croutons
1 pound sausage
1 cup grated cheese
6 eggs
1 soup can of milk
1 can mushroom soup
1 teaspoon dry mustard
salt and pepper to taste

Spread croutons in a 9 X 13 inch casserole dish. Brown the sausage and drain the excess oil. Sprinkle sausage over croutons. Sprinkle cheese over sausage. Beat eggs in a large bowl. Add milk, mushroom soup, mustard, salt and pepper, stir, and pour over top of casserole. Bake for 1 hour at 350F degrees.

Watch your child’s eyes light up when they serve the family dinner tonight!
