Mom's Pork Casserole

DeniseBC's Note:

My mom has been making this since I was a kid. She says she made it up with ingredients on hand. To me it is one of my favorite comfort foods! I adjusted the number of servings based on other comments and the fact that we usually at best serve 4 with it! I will also add as one reviewer noted, the amounts for celery, peas, onion are what my mom used. I often am pretty liberal with all of those.

• Total Time: 1 hrs 30 mins

• Cook Time: 1 hrs 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 1/4 cup frozen peas, defrosted
• 2/3 cup water
• 1 tablespoon soy sauce
• 1/4 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced (optional)

1. Combine all ingredients and pour into a prepared casserole. Bake, covered at 325^ for 1 1/4 hours.

This was a basic hearty filling casserole. While we all ate it, everyone said they would not specifically request it, but eat it if served. It was easy to put together, and a good use of leftover pork besides BBQ pork sandwiches, but the family said they would prefer I do mostly the sandwiches instead of this.

Like others, I had left over pork loin and I didn't know what to do with it. This recipe was the perfect solution! Easy, simple and tasty!!

I had large pork roast we hadn't finished and went looking for a recipe to use it up. Thank goodness I found yours. I was sick of noodles and rice sounded so much better. I almost didn't rate your recipe because I made quite a few changes. I did use the basic recipe but added modifications: used white and wild rice mixture, added extra celery, onions, broccoli, chicken broth instead of water, garlic, cream of celery soup and a small can of mushrooms instead of fresh. I did double the recipe and it was gobbled up by 6 people. Thanks so much for posting this great, easy to put together casserole. I have added it to my collection of recipes to use for left overs.
