Fall = Casseroles

Okay, so the lazy months of summer are well past, and homeschooling has resumed smoothly enough.  The cooler weather has returned, which means it's time to turn up the heat and make our homes cozy.  How better to do that than to turn on the oven and make a simple dinner, and throw in a sweet treat while we're at it.  So, in honor of the wonderful invention of the casserole, here's a family favorite that I grew up eating, quite often.  You can either use pork chops (that have been browned in a frying pan with a little oil first) or diced chicken.  Don't forget to have a great recipe for cookies or sweet bread while you have a preheated oven!

Chicken (or Pork Chops), Potatoes and Mushroom Soup Casserole
1-2 lbs. diced boneless, skinless chicken breast
6-8 potatoes, peeled and sliced thin
2 cans cream of mushroom soup (use can to add 1/2 - 1 full can amount of milk)
salt, pepper, garlic salt (to taste or optional)

Super simple instructions!
Grease a 9x13" baking pan, then toss it all in together, then cook for 1 hour, at 400 degrees.

Serve with additional veggies or salad of choice.
