Leave it to the Shriners Parade of Recipes: Main Dish Edition Including Meats and Casseroles (1966) to be the first cookbook to make me mentally picture a crank-window handle, a cigarette lighter, and an angular set of fins peeking out of a glob of cream-of-something soup topped with potato chips.
I have no idea what makes this Antique Auto Casserole! This looks like a stripped-down version of a recipe that usually seems to be titled Tagliarini in the community cookbooks I get. If anybody has any idea of how this relates to antique autos (or even better, just wants to make up a wild story about the connection), feel free to comment.
I think I would make it into an antique auto meatloaf. Mold the meat into a car shape, use onion slices for tires (don't forget the spare on the back), and place the cooked loaf on a mound of noodles mixed with tomato soup to make the terrain it is driving on. Of course then you have to explain why the car is driving over a pile of bloody guts. Maybe they are the entrails of ungrateful husbands and children who complain about meatloaf (or casserole) again...
ReplyDeleteThat would be a good Halloween night dinner.
DeleteI do like the idea of it being served in a hubcap!
