Before I launch into the Hotdish post can I just say how gorgeous it was out this morning? It was 60 degrees so I decided to eat my breakfast of a shitake mushroom omelet and piping hot coffee on the back porch. My 2-yr-old daughter woke up and joined me and she and I sat out there and listened to the birds. When we heard our resident owl hoot we both had to chime in with loud “WHO WHO”s. Just thought you would like to know.
I hope you all got to enjoy the morning weather too! Do you have a good morning breakfast story?
Eating Well had a whole article on Hotdish which is sort of a casserole where you just dump all the ingredients in. I tried out their Beef, Broccoli and Potato Hotdish and this one, however, had quite a bit of prep work as it didn’t use the standard cream of whatever soup that is typically used. The sauce was made from some low-fat milk, cornstarch, cheese and a bit of spice.
The dish was a bit labor intensive and it needed something….I just can’t figure out what. Hubby, on the other hand really dug this dish. I tapped into his meat n’ potatoes side and went in for seconds.
Has anyone else tried this? What did you think?

Ah sounds like a fabulous way to start the day.
I haven't tried it…but it looks yummy! And I'm so jealous of your 60 degree morning weather. It is still hot and humid here…but I know the cool days will eventually come. Thanks for sharing with us…I will just have to live vicariously through you this month.
