This Classic Casserole Recipe Was Recommended For Busy Homemakers Years Ago – Nonetheless A Good Idea!

It is a recipe from my younger days in Southern Indiana. We did not have Chinese language eating places in our little town but I nonetheless got here to love “Chinese meals”. We have been always placing things together to make our version. This casserole was one of the results. It was really helpful for busy homemakers within the late 50s, early 60s. Immediately’s cooks are sometimes busy and this casserole remains to be a great idea. Again then “homemakers” had been busy doing the “wash” in a wringer washer and hanging the garments on exterior clotheslines to dry. They stood for hours, ironing the wrinkles out of mentioned “wash”. They planted, harvested, and preserved the vegatables and fruits from their gardens. They typically mowed large lawns with previous-trend push mowers. Typically they sewed and made the family’s clothes. Yes, their days had been busy and they typically needed one thing for an easy meal. At present’s cooks are simply as busy but in numerous ways. Nonetheless, there’s still a necessity for quick and simple recipes. This Rooster Chow Mein Casserole goes together quickly and solely bakes for half an hour, making it as relevant to at this time”s cooks as to yesterday’s homemaker! And the good thing about right now is the cook dinner doesn’t must exit back, catch a chicken, pluck the feathers, then cook it!
