  • In this video I share one of my favorite summertime casseroles. I learned how to make it many years ago from a Blind Pig & The Acorn reader B.Ruth. I love making the casserole from the things we grow in our garden here in the Appalachian Mountains.

    I make a very similar layered casserole that I love--I use yellow squash, zuchinni, spring onions and tomatoes with cheese (what ever is in the cheese drawer) but I use tarragon seasoning with the salt and pepper. As for leftovers, I serve it over pasta and it is great! Thank you for your great videos!!!

    Thank you! You could even put bacon crumbles in this, or diced chicken. Maybe even shrimp?? Then you would have a dinner in one dish with a slice of bread on the side, or a roll for your starch. This is a really wonderful recipe! I saw someone else mention in her comment she thought eggplant would be great even. It would be a quick dinner for a busy night for sure! I hope your day went well today, Tipper! I was able to get a good handful of housework done today. Everyday is better and better! Thank you for your prayers still. I know they are what is carrying me forward so quickly!

    My mum made something similar when I was a child.in the sixties, we called it a tomato and onion bake , mum would have it topped with breadcrumbs and sometimes it would include green beans, but ours didn’t have cheese in it. Most often in the cooler months and with a roast meat or chicken or sausages. It brings back nice memories. This was in Australia.

    Not only do I not like Winter because of the temperature, which makes all my little aches and pains worse...it's the inability to run out back and grab something to eat from the garden.
    If I'm cooking something and need a pepper or a tomato I don't have to run to town to buy one.
    At least Winter keeps the bugs in check and I get to provide food and water to the birds and squirrels.
    That garden casserole looks GREAT!!!!
    Everyone please prepare for food shortages. It looks like even if food is available it won't be affordable.
    Tipper...do you have a simple bread recipe?

    I have made this for years with the addiction of some sliced potatoes, lots of cheese and no crumbs. I typically season with garlic powder, salt, oregano, and lots of black pepper. This recipe was called "Summer Gratin". It is a great way to use up those giant baseball bat zucchini that you find hiding in the garden. Two or three options to add... Sliced egg plant, green pepper rings and mushrooms work well. You can also use grated potato for the top... Instead of bread crumbs. Yum!

    I had a similar one a friend made in Paris. It has potatoes in it also along with the tomatoes, onions, zuchini and 3 cheeses. It was layered like that with a little butter here and there. No breadcrumbs but had cheese on top. The potatoes were sliced very thin rounds and were just another layer. She served it with fresh cucumbers and oil and vinegar. I have pre-boiled the potatoes a little bit at times. She did not. Of course we had a great crusty bread with it. So good. I want to make this soon. I am really craving vegetables. I will try your recipe without potatoes and add breadcrumbs next time. Thanks.

    I make something similar to this in a shallow baking dish. I add a little olive oil on the bottom of the pan and on each layer instead of using butter. I mix potato chips (instead of crackers) with sour cream. I put this on top, add the cheddar cheese, (yeah, I know, not very healthy!) and bake! Sometimes I sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top too. It is sooo good. It's one of my favorite recipes!

      I completely forgot about Havarti since I've been living in another country!! I love Havarti. When I first came here, they didn't have cheddar, but now, it's sold here.
