I'm pretty sure most people have some sort of variant of a "Kitchen Sink Recipe." There's just something fun about grabbing all sorts of stuff you need to get rid of and putting it together in a meal. Maybe you end up with soup or stew. We ended up with a casserole. I have no idea what compelled me to make a "crust" with mashed potatoes. I just needed to use them because they had all sprouted and were approaching sentience. Surprisingly, this wound up being an extremely tasty meal. I feel it benefited from a tableside dousing of hot sauce, but it was pretty flavorful as is. The fun of this is that you could swap in or out just about anything. Go crazy. Take out the green beans and add Jolly Ranchers. I'm not here to judge. Actually, I'm totally judging, but quietly. Behind your back. I never said I was a nice person. All right. I may have said it, but I lied. As always, notes are in
blue.

Kitchen Sink Casserole |
Ingredients
- 6 potatoes (peel them or don't. I like the peel. At the very least, wash them.)
- 1/2 pound yellow or green beans
- 1 medium onion, chopped
- 4 ounces mushrooms, chopped
- 1 red bell pepper, cut into 1" squares
- 1 yellow bell pepper, cut into 1" squares
- 1 can (about 10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
- 1-1/4 pound ground beef
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 tube biscuit dough (at least 7.5 ounces if you want it to completely cover the casserole)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- another 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 teaspoons Milwaukee Avenue Steak Seasoning (available at The Spice House. If you don't want to buy it, it contains: salt, hickory smoke powder, Hungarian sweet paprika, garlic, Tellicherry black pepper, cardamom and marjoram.)
Directions
I love kitchen sink recipes, and the first time I used one of those dough tubes I jumped as I was wholly unprepared for it.
