Thanksgiving leftover mini-casseroles


I came away with an unusually large collection of Thanksgiving leftovers this year - so I decided to fabricate a new way to finish off the heaps of stuffing, turkey, potatoes and - that Turkey-Day table staple - green bean casserole.
I employed my oven-proof souffle cups for a nice layered casserole. These fluted dishes are perfect for individual pot pies or other similar recipes; I'm almost always cooking for two, so they come in handy often.
I began with a packed crust of stuffing, and then added (in equal-sized layers) turkey, green bean casserole, mashed potatoes and gravy, more turkey and a last topping of stuffing. A sprinkling of classic French's fried onions adds hearty crunch, while echoing the onion flavors found in the stuffing and green beans. Heated through in a 350-degree oven, this recipe couldn't be simpler - but every bite is a grand combination of Thanksgiving flavors.
