HUSBAND DELIGT CASSEROLE ( A FAMILY FAVORITE )

Posted on 818 views

I gave him a look of exhaustion as I walked into our tiny little bedroom. I proceeded to change out of my work clothes, into a pair of jeans and a snug t-shirt and replied:

“I had a really long day at work and the last thing I feel like doing is jumping back into the car, driving to a restaurant, and waiting an hour to eat dinner. I’d rather make something here.”

He glanced at me with a hesitant look as he answered, “Ok. Then we’ll eat dinner here. What do you feel like making?” I could sense his mind was preoccupied with something that was bugging him.

This casserole is the love child of lasagna and beef stroganoff. When you think about these two dishes together, it doesn’t add up. However, somehow in this recipe, they are perfect together.My mother found it while looking through a cookbook she purchased from a few fire fighters.

lasagna meets beef stroganoff in this recipe. Once you find out the history behind this dish, you’ll see that it really is Husband’s Delight Casserole.
