    Amish Classic: Poor Man's Simple Stove-Top Skillet Casserole

    Published: Jul 31, 2014 · Updated: Nov 12, 2014 by Kevin Williams | Leave a Comment

    This is a quintessential Amish dish.  Use a heavy, cast-iron skillet to prepare this if you have one.  The ingredient amounts in this recipe can easily be tweaked according to how large or small your family is.

    Cream of mushroom soup is a surprising staple in many Amish kitchens.  Gloria Yoder, who pens The Amish Cook column, generally stays away from such heavily processed items, but many Amish cooks started using items like canned soups during the Great Depression as a way to stretch meals and dollars even farther.

    So if you are looking for a simple, inexpensive, but tasty supper, look no farther than the recipe below!  Thanks to reader Heather for the photo!  Serve with a big slice of crusty bread to really round out the meal!
