Introducing the Misfit Mess Hall!

The Misfits are passionate about food. We are forever argu--umm--discussing it. Sometimes we take our opinions to the Twitter masses and often find various food topics to be more divisive that politics. Pineapple on pizza, dressing vs. stuffing, raisins on salads, Mayo or Miracle Whip? There are few things we love more than laughing at people's obviously wrong opinions and ridiculing those with terrible taste buds. ​

​So not long ago, Ray brought up writing a food series. (He often makes us drool with pictures of his meal creations.) Dan came up with an idea that takes it one step further. Have a portion of the website devoted to recipes, many of which would be good for busy families and their budget. Thus the Mess Hall was born and we think it only fitting it launches the week of Thanksgiving!

The introductory recipe is perfect for a post-holiday meal. If your family is like mine, you often have leftover turkey. You can only eat so many turkey sandwiches, amirite? What's the answer to reinventing turkey leftovers? Why, it doesn't get much more American than an easy, throw-it-all-in-one-pan casserole!
Turkey (or Chicken!) Casserole
*Preheat oven to 350 degrees*
Ingredients:
  • 4-5 cups shredded turkey or chicken
  • 3 cups leftover dressing or 1 box StoveTop stuffing (unprepared)
  • 1 can Cream of Mushroom soup
  • 1 can Cream of Chicken soup
  • 1/2 cup - cup water or broth (I usually fill the Cream of Chicken can 3/4)
Instructions:
  • Combine all ingredients in a medium-large mixing bowl. Add water/broth a little at a time to ensure the mixture is wet, but not watery. Amount will vary!
  • Spray an 11 x 7 baking dish and spread mixture evenly into dish. (13 x 9 works, too, especially if you use more turkey/dressing.)
  • Cover with foil and bake 20 minutes. Remove foil and cook for 10 more minutes or until top is golden brown.
  • Let cool for 10 minutes and serve! (Fave sides for this in my family are green beans, sauteed mushrooms, salad, or roasted potatoes!)

That's it! Seriously, you cannot mess up this recipe. Measurements are very loose, so don't take any of them to heart. Adjust as needed and add as much meat as you prefer! My family enjoys this casserole year round with shredded chicken. Sometimes I bake it or cook with broth in a Crock-Pot. When I need to make dinner on the fly, I grab a pre-cooked rotisserie chicken. Works great!

​Hope you enjoy and check back soon for more yummy recipes!

The Misfits wish everyone and their families a wonderful Thanksgiving. We hope you eat too much, laugh too loud, and remember that we are blessed to live in this great country!
