Recipe

I know I said that I would do a recipe monthly, but I would like to do it more often! So here it goes;


This recipe cam out of a Goose Berry Patch recipe book for Church Suppers!

Roepke Family Casserole






Dana Roepke says:
"This is one of my family's favorites. My youngest daughter began making this when she was 7. She divided it into 2 casseroles, one for her grandparents and one for us! "

Ingredients:

1-1/2 lbs. ground beef

1c. oni0n, chopped

15-1/4 oz. can corn, drained
10-3/4 oz. can cream of chicken

10-3/4 oz. can cream of mushroom soup

8- oz. container sour cream

3/4 t. salt

1/4 t. pepper

3c. cooked extra wide egg noddles

1c. bread crumbs

3T. butter, melted

Directions:

Brown ground beef in large skillet over medium heat; add onion. Cook until tender; drain. Add corn, soups, sour cream, salt and pepper. Stir in noodles, spoon into a lightly greased 4-quart casserole dish. (13x9, that's what I used) Combine bread crumbs and melted butter in small bowl; sprinkle over top. Bake, uncovered, at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until golden. Serves 8 or 10. (For our church, it served a whole lot more)

If your church has an annual conference (or has meals ever Sunday), casseroles like Roepke Family Casserole are kid-friendly and so nice for sharing with families!

I made this for our church, and it was delicious!

Verse of the Week

Today's verse of the week is, all of Ruth! I know that's more than a couple of verse's, but you could NEVER get more than enough of God's wonderful word! I storngly suggest that you read it. I've been reading it this week, for my devotions. She was a VERY biblical woman. She is a virtues daughter-in-law. Next time you pick up your bible, read the book of Ruth! (As long as it's not in the middle of church :))

Ugh, I'm sick!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, I've been sick. It's nothing serous like the Flu, or Pneumonia. It's just a soar throat, lots of sneezing, and a little fever. I HATE BEING SICK! I've gotten behind on my school work, chores, and blogging. I'm not the only one getting sick, my mom isn't like peaches and cream either! I'll try to post more.
