Savour the season: Easy pumpkin potato casserole recipe
Fall in the kitchen? I love it! When this special time of year begins, I always prepare a casserole with pumpkin, potatoes, and chicken. My family loves this dish, and the neighbours keep asking for the recipe. If only they knew how simple this recipe is!
Busy parents love one-pot meals and simple casseroles the most. These dishes are easy, tasty, nutritious, relatively economical, and prepared really quickly. I always take advantage of these benefits when autumn arrives, along with the new school year and daily hustle. And I do it with a pumpkin casserole.
Pumpkin casserole
This dish has so many advantages that it's hard to list them all. Anyway, it's worth making and in a really large quantity. For me, such a casserole with pumpkin, potatoes, and chicken is just enough for two days. The kids are crazy about it, and I’m happy that all I need to do is chop the ingredients, throw them into a baking dish, bake it, and it’s ready.
Doesn't that all sound tempting? If you’re nodding your head now, below I present a recipe that I use and that has never let me down. Good luck!
