As you know, most casseroles call for some sort of "can of soup," usually a cream soup. Casseroles were very popular during the 1970's and the cream soups were a bit cheaper to buy.
Here's an easy macaroni and cheese dish that even teens can make,
along with some old casserole dishes from the 1970's. I'm so glad to
get these out of my recipe file and online.
