Leftover Meat Casserole

I ommited the tomato soup, because it didn't sound too appealing to me mixed with cream of mushroom and gravy, also ommmited the celery because I didn't have any. I used leftover pork, and boiled up some egg noodles and added frozen peas to the noddles before they were done cooking. Used garlic and herb bread crumbs instead of plain. My family really enjoyed this!

When the casserole was done, I took it out of the oven, tasted it, apologized to my family and ordered pizza. It was easy to make but it was inedible. The combo of gravy, tomato soup and mushroom soup was sweet and awful.

YUM!!! This can be created any way your taste buds desire. We used Club crackers, Sharp white cheddar cheese with leftover Carnitas. Used homemade chicken broth and a home onion soup!! HOly Canoli!!! Super grateful for ALL the ideas and recipes Genius Kitchen has offered my life in the past month. You happen to be my go to these days. Thank you!

This is really, really good. There are lots of ways to vary the recipe. I think it's best with pork or lamb - I have tried all meats (beef, chicken, turkey, etc) and now will only make it with pork or lamb leftovers. I often cook those pork tenderloin rolls that are pre-seasoned as they are such an easy meal. Then I freeze the leftovers and use for this casserole. After experimenting, I use one can of broth and saute my veggies (carrots, celery, onion). By the time the veggies are softened, the remaining broth is about 1 cup. Then I use Golden Mushroom soup (or a can of brown gravy if I don't have that on hand) and the tomato soup. I also use a heartier pasta, such as ziti, and Parmesan instead of the cheddar. This makes a nice crispy crust. My honey loves it. Makes a wonderful cold weather meal. Thank you for posting!

A really nifty way to recycle leftover meat. We used cooked roast pork. Based on the other reviewers' comments, I sauteed the vegetables prior to assembling the casserole with great success.
