Carol’s Spring Cleaning Casserole
In Season 6, Carol decides she’s going to put together a “Spring Cleaning Casserole” using old canned goods in Alexandria that no one wanted to eat.
I was a bit wary about this recipe. It really didn’t sound especially appealing or flavorful, but I decided to give it a shot since it definitely seemed like something that could be thrown together during a zombie apocalypse.
The recipe mostly included a lot of canned goods, like mixed vegetables, water chestnuts, and cream of celery soup. I did need to chop up an onion, but that was the only perishable item. The whole thing was covered with crushed crackers before going into the oven…it’s that simple.
I decided to use unsalted crackers because…well, y’know. Apocalypse. Supplies are limited.
This was surprisingly good! I really wasn’t expecting much, but we both really liked this!
Taste: 8/10
I’m not generally a huge fan of casseroles, but I was very pleasantly surprised by this one!
Difficulty: Easy
Very simple to make. Saute onion, mix everything together, top with crushed crackers, and toss in the oven.
Cost: Average
The recipe calls for a lot of canned goods, as well as crackers.
Suggestion:
It’s a “spring cleaning” casserole, so you could add pretty much anything you wanted: other canned vegetables, fresh vegetables, cans of beans, a different “cream of” soup, new spices…lots of options here!
