Making a Delicious Casserole, Even in the Midst of a SHTF Moment

Here is a recipe for a delicious “Survival Casserole.” It is an easy and perfectly satisfying meal. The ingredients include:

1 package of dried pasta; typically a pound
1 can of tuna or canned chicken; can be doubled (see note below about tuna)
1 can condensed cream soup; mushroom or chicken; can be doubled
1 cup shredded or crumbled cheddar or other type of cheese (reserve half for the topping)
Odd and ends of leftovers from your refrigerator or pantry

Topping:
Breadcrumbs or cracker crumbs, depending on what you have on hand

Directions:
Cook the pasta. The exact amount does not matter. I happen to like whole wheat spaghetti so that is what I use. Also, I have made this casserole using less than a full package and more than a full package. This allows for flexibility to use whatever you happen to have on hand.

Grease the inside of a 9 x 13 baking pan, 12” cast iron skillet, Dutch oven with cooking oil, coconut oil, or some other fat.
Preheat your cooking source to about 350 degrees.
Combine all ingredients, holding back half of the cheese.
Mix well; pour into your pan. Sprinkle the remaining cheese plus the breadcrumbs or crushed crackers over the top.

This recipe just goes to show that with a few basic supplies supper can quickly be put in the oven!

Bake the casserole for about 25 to 30 minutes until fully cooked then pull it out and let it sit about five minutes before serving.
