Oh...Oh.

That sounds horrid.

 

[Sneakers]

Oh...Oh.

That sounds horrid.

Yeah......... no thank you.

 

[vraiblonde]

Oh...Oh.

That sounds horrid.

But it was delicious - no lie. There was a TON of food at this thing and the pineapple casserole was the only thing that got gone and people were whining that there wasn't more of it. It was a huge hit.

sounds like some 1950s Minnesotian casserole concoction ... we will just have to take your word on that one

I concur.

We will take your word it was good, but I can't image.

Sounds like Badgirl's new Celery Salad.

I'm sorry, it doesn't even look good, but these commenters love it as much as vrai did.

 

[BadGirl]

It is amazing. No lie!

It is usually part of our Thanksgiving dinner, and it always gets eaten totally gone.

It just doesn't sound like all the ingredients would mesh together. But I may give it a try, sometimes these oddest things taste the best.

My first thought was that the Jello was missing.

I have heard people rave about this casserole before, and am curious about it. Because of the ingredients, I wouldn't make it at home since hubby doesn't do cheese on much of anything. I would definitely try if someone else made it because I want to know if I do like it or not!!

The other hit was noodles with carmelized onions, butter, and cottage cheese. THAT sounded to me but it was so good I brought home leftovers.

I've had this before! Someone made it where I used to work and it was amazing!
It's just one of those recipes that you don't think it's going to be any good - but it is for some reason!!

I'm laughing out loud at "1950s Minnesotian casserole" - because it totally does!

It's not cheesy. It's like the cheese is a seasoning, savory to balance the sweet.

 

[TPD]

I've gotta try it - I love pineapple! But no way will my wife make it for me, but it looks easy enuff that I believe I can do it myself.

 

[Monello]

Other than the cheese, this is so NOT you.

I can see where this is coming from... this is probably from a recipe that used boursin cheese or ricotta and someone on a diet was like "oh cottage cheese is basically the same but so much less fat!" just use the ricotta! I don't trust you people and your cottage cheese substitutions!

I used to always see this one woman on tiktok, That Midwestern Mom, who had a real thick Minnesotian accent and a lot of her content was making these whack-ass casseroles you'd find at midwestern potlucks. She even did a bunch of older ones from midcentury midwestern cookbooks that sounded absolutely bonkers. All the jello, cheese, cubed meat, and cracker concoctions you could never want. She was funny though and knew how crazy some of those casseroles were.
