Author’s Foreword

A recipe has no soul. You as a cook must bring soul to the recipe.

Southern cooking has really intimidated me for the longest time. As a matter of fact, every time I search for new recipes, I always skip past the southern comfort food section, just because I am so scared that I will make a complete mess and will not do the recipe justice.

Fearing that I would be an insult to my Southern roots, I’ve decided to leave the cooking to my mother and Mamie and just focus on the eating part. But when I left home and moved to the West Coast for work, I have missed their cooking so much that I ended up looking for restaurants that serve dishes that are close to home. Of course, they didn’t taste the same as the dishes that I grew up with. They lacked the soul – sad to say, what I ate didn’t comfort me at all.

When my mom visited me a few years ago, she let me in on her secret to Southern cooking. She said that I could use my canned beans, soups, sauces and cake mixes to make great tasting, soulful and really comforting Southern dishes! I was, needless to say, shocked! She also said all I needed was a casserole dish and I am good to go.

So, empowered by what she said, I began trying out Southern casserole recipes and they turned out great! My baked meals and desserts reminded me of home! Soon, I started sharing them with my friends and workmates and they all loved my creations! This was when I decided to share my recipes and experiences with you!

Southern Casseroles: 40 Hearty One-Dish Meals with Canned Soups, Meat and Vegetable for Southern Comfort Foods will help you:

Realize that everyday ingredients such as your canned beans, tomatoes, soups and cake mixes can be used to make amazingly delicious casseroles.

Choose the right kind of casserole dish or pan for your baking or cooking needs.

Learn healthy Southern casserole recipes.

Follow great cooking tips and ingredient suggestions to make your cooking experience a whole lot easier and stress-free.

And so much more!

With these recipes and tips, I am hopeful that you will also be inspired to make great tasting and soul-comforting Southern casseroles. Remember, you do not have to be from and in the South to dish out amazing casseroles seasoned with love and soul!

What is Casserole Cooking?

Casseroles are defined as meals cooked in the oven. In short, these are oven baked meals, whether sweet or savory, that are dependent on the power of the oven to transform your ordinary ingredients into scrumptious and comforting dishes.

Southern cooking is often associated with casseroles and baking. All because they like to bake creamy, rich and decadent meals in large casserole pans or cookware – and serve them family style.
