Cream of Mushroom Soup
Of course, you can use a can or jar of mushroom soup if you so prefer. My mother never made homemade mushroom soup and we all loved her tuna noodle casserole! But, if you would like to make your own Homemade Mushroom Soup, check out the blog and the video. It’s very easy and it will make more soup for many meals. Especially if you are single or empty nesters like us.
What is Mushroom Soup Made Of?
Homemade mushroom soup is made using fresh mushrooms, milk (a vegan option is available), and a thickener like arrowroot or cornstarch. For a vegan option, try using coconut oil for the fat called for in the recipe.
Homemade Egg Noodles
Making egg noodles is fun a great project to do with the family. I have a full tutorial on How to Make Egg Noodles, pop on over to the blog for the tutorial and printable recipe. I tend to make homemade egg noodles during the cooler months; more in the fall and winter months than the summer. I love making garlic egg noodles to use in the tuna noodle casserole!
How to Smoke Meat Naturally
We try and use smoked tuna in our homemade tuna noodle casserole whenever we have it on hand. If you are interested in Smoking Meat Naturally, we have that blog post too! This is definitely a game-changer to the old-fashioned taste, it kicks it a notch that we just love!
Flaky Biscuits from Scratch for Two
Serving bread is a great way to enhance this meal. Have you ever tried making buttermilk biscuits? It’s easy, I have the full blog and video, you can find that will show you how with a neat trick I use to end the stick-to-the-counter problem! Check it out here, Buttermilk Biscuits From Scratch!
Sourdough Bread Crumbs
Here is another little thing that changes the taste, just a little, using sourdough bread crumbs. We seem to always have leftover sourdough bread or rolls. Usually, the leftovers go in the dehydrator on low if I am dehydrating something. Otherwise, they get placed on a silicone-lined cookie sheet and placed in the oven without heat overnight. Of course, we share with the girls, (hens) which they love bread anything too!
If you are interested in sourdough recipes, check out the few I have on other blog posts. Sourdough Waffles for Two. A blog and a video for Bread Machine Sourdough, yum! Sourdough Cornbread Stuffing goes great with any meal. And another favorite, Sourdough Danish Apple Aebleskivers, the cast iron pans make the best!
