    Amish Five in One After-Church Casserole

    After-Church Amish Meal

    By Kevin Williams

    This recipe has been wildly popular on Amish365 over the years. It failed to crack the top 10 in views in 2016, but in 2012 - 2015, it racked up enormous amounts of clicks before fading.    So I thought today would be a good day to bring it back! This is one of these easy "throw-together meals" that are so common and revered in Amish kitchens.  Not to mention, delicious!  If you have a large group coming you can easily double, triple, quaddruple this recipe.

    This is a recipe sent to me by an Amish woman in Iowa and apparently finds its way onto church supper tables after services in their community. Looks tasty!   By the way the author of this recipe recommends Velveeta cheese.

    That is a popular brand among the Amish, but I would imagine you could use your favorite cheese and it would work fine.  Obviously Velveeta is known for its "melty" quality so you wouldn't get that with another cheese, but it'd be healthier!:)

      Hi there, I tried this and it was good. I took liberties and substituted the ground beef for ground turkey because I am not a fan of red meat. Still out great.

      Kevin: This recipe sounds quick and delicious, the way it is. However, I am highly allergic to lactose. Certainly there must be cheese out there that is not so high in lactose, but would still be appropriate for this dish. Please, can you help me?

        Cheese made with soy can be found in some markets.

      Velveeta now sells a 2% cheese right along side the regular one.
