About this ebook

I started collecting recipes in the 50’s - some from Home Economics classes, some from newspapers and magazines, and many from friends and family. Now, 6 kids, 10 grandkids, and 4 great-grandkids later, I’m organizing all my old recipes so I don’t have to dig around in a cardboard box every time one of the grandkids asks for a recipe.

The first book in this series is all about casseroles. Most of the recipes are very easy to prepare and easy on the pocketbook. No fancy ingredients or fancy names - just delicious and filling meals your family will love. They are great for family meals, entertaining at home, picnics, church potlucks, and family get-togethers. My family’s favorite is the Chili Rellenos Casserole. It’s great with a salad on the side. Give it a try.

There are still lots of recipes in my cardboard box so more books will be coming out soon. Be sure to check back often.

    Grandma Betty’s Classic Casseroles - Betty Yells

    Introduction

    Most of the recipes in this book are easy to prepare and economical - just delicious and filling meals your family will love. They are great for family meals, entertaining at home, picnics, church potlucks, and family get-togethers.

    Some of these recipes may call for a bit more salt than we normally use today, so use your discretion and don’t hesitate to cut down on the salt if you think it seems a bit much. Also, if you happen to use self rising flour, be sure to omit the salt and baking powder.

    There are still lots of recipes in my cardboard box so more books will be coming out soon. Be sure to check back often.
