Directions
Dandelion Casserole, It seems like a lot of greens but they cook down to almost nothing And if you want you can replace the dandelion with spinach use hot sausage which gives this a real kick, but if you rather go for mild or just use chopped beef , I started with what seemed like WAY too many greens, but in the end it cooked down and became ‘just right ‘ I think one key to this recipe is the sausage make sure you use a sausage you like The one I picked up at the store was questionable, and really cast an odd flavor over the whole dish The rest of my family didn’t like it much, for which I mostly blame the meat Also, I went on the low side with the sauce, using only about 3 cups originally, and the dish came out really dry Part of the dryness was my noodles used whole wheat egg noodles and cooked them al dente; I think they still had some moisture to absorb We ate the 2nd half as leftovers, and I added an entire 3c can of pizza sauce to the leftovers Then the liquid level came out about right To recap: Lots of dandelion, be sure you like your sausage, don’t undercook your noodles, and err towards the high side with the tomato sauce Overall quite good, and I will probably experiment with this some more One thing I liked was that, as it was baking, it evinced a wonderful buttery aroma I think that must have been from the dandelion, as I haven’t experienced it from any of the other ingredients in the past
