This is actually called Dump cake, because all you do is dump the ingredients in a pyrex dish and bake. My recipe calls for melted butter on top.

Just the roast of my childhood! You can also add sliced onions and a clove or two of fresh garlic. My mother never added the cream soup, just let the chuck roast juices soften the dry onion soup mix.

I have an obsession for collecting bread recipes (and trying them, of course) so your site has really piqued my interest. Recipes of old wasnt something I’d even considered, but this turned out so well! Thank you

Comment on Gridiron Casserole (1968) by Jan Tramel

My mother made this recipe for as long as I can remember. She got it out of a recipe book that students used in High School Homemaking classes in the 1940s. (I still have the recipe book, all tattered and torn!) The original recipe included 1 1/2 green bell peppers and was made with 2 lb. ground beef and 1/2 lb. uncooked spaghetti. It made a lot, to be sure! Mom said the casserole was often served at after-football get-togethers, thus the name! As you can see, it’s an easy one to make because most of the ingredients could probably be found right in your pantry.

Anyway, it is a down-home delicious and very filling dish. Real comfort food! Toss together a salad, and you have a meal!
