Mashed Potato Casserole

My favorite part of the Thanksgiving meal. This can be made the day before and reheated. I have used my crockpot for that since there is no extra room to cook it in the oven due to Mr. Tom! One of these days I'll cook this entirely in the crockpot...when it's not Thanksgiving.


Mashed Potato Casserole

8 large potatoes, mashed
add milk as desired
add small pkg of cream cheese (we use large)
2 eggs
1/4 cup butter
add salt, pepper, onion salt to taste

beat/mash until smooth

put in buttered casserole dish, sprinkle parmesan cheese and some paprika on top. Refrigerate if cooking later or next day (my mom often makes it the night before so it's ready to pop in the oven)

Bake at 350 for 40-45 minutes

Bread Stuffing

Since it is almost Thanksgiving I wanted to post my stuffing recipe because, well, it is awesome!

Bread Stuffing

cook turkey giblets - 2 hrs (in water) -- chop very fine
cook liver - 1/2 hour -- chop very fine

1 onion -- chop fine
2 stalks of celery -- chop fine

1 pkg of onion and sage Peppridge Farm Stuffing (according to size of turkey)

Use part of the liver water to soak bread.

Add: 2 eggs, slightly beaten
2T margarine, melted and cooled
salt
Optional: 1 apple peeled and diced along with 1/4 C canned milk

I always stuff my turkey with this, but you can bake it at 350 for about 45-60 minutes if you'd rather. ***I have now started cooking this in my crockpot. Easy-peasy. You do need to add enough chicken broth to make it moist enough for your liking!
