- In this video I share one of my favorite summertime casseroles. I learned how to make it many years ago from a Blind Pig & The Acorn reader B.Ruth. I love making the casserole from the things we grow in our garden here in the Appalachian Mountains.

My grandma always put cottage cheese between the layers along with the shredded cheese. I loved it. I make it for my family now when the zucchini in my garden is growing like crazy. Yummy!
I make a very similar layered casserole that I love--I use yellow squash, zuchinni, spring onions and tomatoes with cheese (what ever is in the cheese drawer) but I use tarragon seasoning with the salt and pepper. As for leftovers, I serve it over pasta and it is great! Thank you for your great videos!!!
Tarragon sounds like a great flavor to add!
Love garden casseroles. It’s best when you can’t tell your favorite part🥰
So true! 😀
Tipper I got your letter and the 2. CDs. You sent. Brought a tear to my eye. You'll never know how much that ment to me. Just the thought. That you actually took the time. To send. That. God bless yall
Bless you Duane! I will be praying for you! I appreciate you. You've been with me since the first video 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia y'all are are the finest sort of people. You are. A encouragement to the whole human race. I don't say that lightly. Cause most people are not worth a flip. God bless you all. And. u ins take care,,
My mum made something similar when I was a child.in the sixties, we called it a tomato and onion bake , mum would have it topped with breadcrumbs and sometimes it would include green beans, but ours didn’t have cheese in it. Most often in the cooler months and with a roast meat or chicken or sausages. It brings back nice memories. This was in Australia.
I love zuchinni onions and tomatoes but never thought about making it a casserole. Thank you Tipper that's is going to be so yummy.
You are so welcome 😀
That looks good! We've been making a casserole with zucchini, tomatoes, bell pepper, cheese, rice, chicken broth and lots of basil for many years.
Sounds great 😀
I love that the veggies a crisp tender! I've been making parm tomatoes, with panko crumbs, basil, and olive oil for years l. Can't wait to try it with the addition of zucchini and onions! Yum! Thank you for sharing and giving credit to your Blind Pig and the Acorn reader, Tipper. So many don't.
😆 "I have to taste it for you so you can see what it's like." Then proceeds to describe the deliciousness of it. Too cute. I can't wait to try this!
😀
When my garden is in, I enjoy meals of just fresh vegetables. The first meal from the garden is the one that I wait all winter for
This is definitely something I will try. I love all the ingredients but have never seen this recipe. Yum! Thanks for sharing! 💛🌻🌾💚
Hope you enjoy 😀
Yumm, reminds me of the squash casserole I love and ha've made. Enjoy your fresh veggies!😊🧡🌻🍂
Thank you 😋
This looks so yummy! I prefer Gouda over mozzarella anyway so I might just go ahead and use that. I do like mozzarella though. I wonder if a drizzle of balsamic would be good on that too. Its such a great use for those really big zucchini too.
I bet it would be 😀
I think I will make this and add some cut up semi cooked italian sausage links. YUM
That sounds great 😀
I have made this for years with the addiction of some sliced potatoes, lots of cheese and no crumbs. I typically season with garlic powder, salt, oregano, and lots of black pepper. This recipe was called "Summer Gratin". It is a great way to use up those giant baseball bat zucchini that you find hiding in the garden. Two or three options to add... Sliced egg plant, green pepper rings and mushrooms work well. You can also use grated potato for the top... Instead of bread crumbs. Yum!
Listening to you makes me smile and think of my wonderful husband of 51 years of marriage! He always said "everwho", "everwhat, "everwhere" and I would invariably correct him to "whoever", "whatever", "wherever" etc. I think he anticipated that I was going to correct him and he would just grin and pay no attention to me. I thought he was the only one who twisted the words but, Lo and Behold, here you are making those same 'twists' and I have finally realized that It's A Mountain Thing! And I Love Them!!
😊
I make a version of this but add squash and I do use oregano in mine. So yummy!! I love all of your cooking videos Tipper. It’s the highlight of my day when I see a new one come out. Thanks for all your tips and recipes. It reminds me so much of the things we ate as kids at my grandma’s house💕
Looks absolutely scrumptious 😋 I’ll definitely give that a try 🙌
I hope you like it 😀
My Grandma used to make this in Summer at end of garden. She called it layed supper and layered hamburger in it too
I ate supper right before watching this and you still made me hungry.
Ty looks great
😀
A friend of mine gave me this recipe a long time ago. She didn’t put bread crumbs on top, but I’m going to do that next time. I usually put Italian seasoning on mine. I love it with soup beans.
I can’t wait to make this. Looks delicious! Thank you for this recipe!
Hope you enjoy 😀
This makes me think of a gratin. I have made potatoes au gratin pretty regularly for family gatherings. They are usually spread out in a shallow dish, but the layering is the same. I love the idea of making it with a variety of vegetables. Thanks for sharing. I cannot wait to make it.
This looks like absolutely yummy I have mixed this up in a skillet and in a saucepan but never thought of doing it as a casserole with some crumbs on the top and stuff looking really good
I can’t wait until your cookbook is available for purchase!
I'm so excited about it 😀
I use this exact recipe (using tommy toes), pile it on a sheet of foil, close it up and lay it on the back of the grill when we're cooking out! It is great with hamburgers and roasted corn. I soak the whole corn in water to wet the shucks, peel back the shucks a little to slide some butter in, close it back up and lay it on the grill. All the vegetables will cook in the time it takes to form and cook the hamburgers. When you remove the corn shucks, the silks fall right off with them. Lay the casserole packet in a baking dish, peel back the foil and serve. No dish washing, no clean up, and SO fresh and good!
Yum!
It's hard to watch you tasting the casserole without wishing I was there to taste some too. It looks really good! I'm going to try this recipe for sure. Thank you for sharing.
Good food Good eating and Good people! Hard to beat!
I guess you heard that Queen Elizabeth died today well my mama shared her birthday however I lost her 11 years ago at 85 years old. Mama loved to cook and was a great cook. Like you! She introduced me to the kitchen and I have always enjoyed cooking. I have heard you talk about how you like recipes and how some people don't I am one who doesn't need one but my wife really wants one! Funny thing how life goes.I enjoyed watching you fix the casserole today and I thank you for the memories Tipper!
Thank you Buz 😀 Your mama sounds wonderful 😀
@@CelebratingAppalachia she was a very sweet and good lady and better than I ever deserved! And Thank you Tipper!
Mmm Mmm. Reminds me of my Grandmas fried and breaded zucchini or summer squash. Now Im wish for tomato sandwiches too.
Not only do I not like Winter because of the temperature, which makes all my little aches and pains worse...it's the inability to run out back and grab something to eat from the garden.
If I'm cooking something and need a pepper or a tomato I don't have to run to town to buy one.
At least Winter keeps the bugs in check and I get to provide food and water to the birds and squirrels.
That garden casserole looks GREAT!!!!
Everyone please prepare for food shortages. It looks like even if food is available it won't be affordable.
Tipper...do you have a simple bread recipe?
I love being able to run out to the garden too 😀 I have one I use in a bread machine. You can see it here: th-cam.com/video/93eoHP8uoZA/w-d-xo.html
@@CelebratingAppalachia thank you 😊
Can't wait to try it
😀
My neighbor Myrtle Sheilds shared this recipe with
me in 1981. She called it summer garden casserole .
I love it!!!!! Thanks Tipper
😀
Heirloom tomatoes!!!! And that table top has many stories to tell
My parents were born and raised in the hills of east Tennessee, and Mama made a version of this casserole. Your videos always bring me happy memories.
I had a similar one a friend made in Paris. It has potatoes in it also along with the tomatoes, onions, zuchini and 3 cheeses. It was layered like that with a little butter here and there. No breadcrumbs but had cheese on top. The potatoes were sliced very thin rounds and were just another layer. She served it with fresh cucumbers and oil and vinegar. I have pre-boiled the potatoes a little bit at times. She did not. Of course we had a great crusty bread with it. So good. I want to make this soon. I am really craving vegetables. I will try your recipe without potatoes and add breadcrumbs next time. Thanks.
Love all the videos! Would love to be up there in my second home in Union County, Georgia. So close to you. I love watching you taste your food and sigh with delight over the pleasing flavor. I totally understand that sigh! Makes me feel like I am tasting it too. God bless you all.
Looks absolutely delicious I just love zucchini and tomatoes can't wait to make this thank you for sharing your recipe 😊
I always like to see Matt getting dinner
This looks delicious. I'm going to give it a try this weekend for Sunday dinner. Thanks for sharing, awesome video as always!
I save my ruffle potatoe chips little pieces for toping in the freezer !!! But this is awesome looking I make my Mothers hot dish like this only it is fried and then baked with paremsan cheese on top of it !!!
THAT LOOKS SO GOOD. I VE MADE SOMETHING LIKE THAT TOO. IF I HAVE LEFTOVER PASTA SAUSE,ILL PUT THAT IN THE LAYERS.
IM GONNA TRY IT LIKE YOU DID, ILL BET ITS GREAT.
THANKS FOR THE RECIPE, GOD BLESS YOU.
You are so welcome 😀
Good morning Celebrating Appalachia. Looks delicious. I believe I'll have this tonight for Friday night supper.
Looks delicious, Save me plate, just put it in the fridge. It should only take me about 2 1/2 hours to get there. I'll just heat it back up when I get there. Leave the porch light on . lol.
😀 Thank you for watching!!
Oh my goodness Tipper. This is going to be on our supper table tomorrow night. YUMMMM!
The bounty of your summer garden! Looks so good! Thank you for sharing, Tipper.
my mom made that and I loved it. I make it too, but one thing I do that my momma didn't do, is I salt the tomato and let the juice drain out before I put it in the casserole, that way it doesn't end up watery from the 'mater juice YUM. Great share!
Tipper your post had me craving this, so I made some tonight. Right before I put the cheese topping on it, I thought, "I wonder how this would be with mushrooms?" So I topped it with mushroom slices and then the cheese and it was to die for. OH MY! :)
My mouth is watering just watching you make this, I can't wait to try all the variations possible; thanks so much for sharing!!! You are such a wonderful blessing to us all, I'm so glad I found your channel!!!
You are so welcome!
Mrs. Tipper, that looks so good and I bet putting ground beef in the layers would take it over the top!
It looks yummy.
Thank you 😋
Wonderful. I make this in one of my cast iron skillets. Fry up all the veggies, add the cheese and crackers and then bake. God Bless and stay safe.
My husbands grandmother made this except she always did cheddar cheese and no crunchy topping. It really is so simple but so good.
I make a similar one too. It’s a Greek casserole called Biram. Potatoes, onions, garlic, green pepper, zucchini and yellow squash with tomatoes on the top. It cooks for about an hour or more. Melting tender. It’s so good.
I grew up with this in Victoria Australia, though the Tomato/Onion/Zucchini were diced and we used either cheese or breadcrumbs. So delicious.
This casserole is brand new to me, Tipper, but I'm sure I'd enjoy it. Like Matt, I grew up eating and enjoying leftovers, and still enjoy them. There are some things that get better the more times they're warmed up.
First I thought that dish was a tetrazzini but thats made with noodles n meat n veggies what it is called is Layered Vegetable Terrine. Expensive restaurants serve it at 10 or more bucks a serving yay Tipper !!! Thank you for sharing
😀 Thank you for watching!
Tipper, you’ve done it again. I’m starving! lol I’m gonna need you to start putting a warning on your cooking videos! 😂
😀
Thank you for this recipe cannot wait to make this tomorrow!!
Hope you like it 😀
I've never heard of this casserole! What a great recipe!! I'm goon try this one for sure! Might add slices of serrano pepper and some minced garlic.
Tipper, a neighbor found a recipe like this years ago and, she shared this with me and, another neighbor. We made this quite often since. I tend to think of it as a tomato pie without the crust and the mayonnaise. I just wasn’t crazy about the tomato pie, I like this fresh vegetable casserole much better. I love making this with shredded Swiss and, havarti cheese. Thank you for sharing and God bless!
I completely forgot about Havarti since I've been living in another country!! I love Havarti. When I first came here, they didn't have cheddar, but now, it's sold here.
We grew up eating this in IN and MI. We did it with parmesan cheese on top and my wife's family used cheddar. We do a mix when we make it for ourselves. Love that this foodway crosses many regions.
I make something similar to this in a shallow baking dish. I add a little olive oil on the bottom of the pan and on each layer instead of using butter. I mix potato chips (instead of crackers) with sour cream. I put this on top, add the cheddar cheese, (yeah, I know, not very healthy!) and bake! Sometimes I sprinkle Parmesan cheese on top too. It is sooo good. It's one of my favorite recipes!
That reminds me of the yellow squash Christmas casserole my friend from North Carolina makes
Looks great
😀
It looks like one of those dishes that has a really fresh taste!
I loved watching you eat your dish just about as well as you Making it you are a treasure ☺️
😊 thank you
Looks real good, 🤓
😀
I missed this recipe when you posted it a year ago. I’m so glad I saw it. My mouth literally started watering when I saw those simple, fresh ingredients combine and baked. Can’t wait to try it!
Hope you enjoy 😀
That looks so good! I'll have to try it. I do a squash casserole with the Ritz Crackers that is so good too. Ok---now I'm hungry!!
Hope you enjoy it 😀
Hi Tipper! What a great idea! Looks really yummy. Another keeper recipe. Thanks so much for sharing!
Another great idea, very versatile 🌻💛🌻
Thank you! 😊
It looks delicious, I'm going to make it tomorrow night for supper,thank you Ms. Tipper ☮️🦋☮️
This was a meal fit for a king thanks tipper I would eat this any time of the year
I just made a similar recipe but it had eggplant instead if zucchini in it. I added bell pepper also. I just found the recipe while browsing today. Yours looks delicious too... I will add zucchini next time too.
Would be great with eggplant and thin sliced potato too...yummy
Sounds great!
Garden to the table, best way with your nice garden full of good vegetables.
Could use stuffing to start off. Use it in each layer and to top it off. Don't really need to add seasonings since stuffing is seasoned. Do it this way if canned tomatoes are used since they have a lot of liquid. Now I'm hungry!lol
Great idea!
That would be great 😀
I bet that would be good with squash! yum, looks so good!
Its good chayote.
My word, I used to make this casserole forty years ago! It was one of my moms favorite casseroles I would make. Thanks for sharing, I think I’ll make it for my aunt.
I hardly eat meat anymore....this would be right up my alley! Gosh, it looks so good!
Looks delicious
Thank you 😋
Omg 😲, that looks so amazing! I wish I could've joined you and Mr Matt for dinner. I would be a delightful experience ☺! I Wouldn't pass that up for the world.
Thank you for sharing, Tipper!😊❤️
Thank you Gary 😀
My Momma used to make something like this🐝🤗❤️
I'm thinking if you layered a little can tuna
You would create a whole new delicious flavor
Great idea 😀
I’m visiting my WV friends this weekend and you’re giving me some good ideas. Thank you… this looks delicious!
Your a awesome cook Tipper, Keith.🙏
I made this for my lunch today. Fantastic! My cheeses were Colby and Swiss. Veggies were onion, zucchini and tomatoes. Will make again. Thank you Tipper.
My Kentucky cousin taught me this recipe years ago, & I love it. We use summer squash sometimes in place of the zucchini. She didn't use the crumb topping, though, so I'm going to add that.
The casserole looks sooo good! So fresh. I bet it would be good with yellow squash instead of zucchini. We seem to have more of it. Thanks for sharing the recipe! 🙂🙂
This looks awesome! As soon as the weather cools a bit I will be making this.
I love zucchini. As soon as the local farmers put them out in buying em up. And love love zucchini bread
Casserole looks delicious great way to use up garden vegetables 😋 thank you for sharing this.
Great casserole for using all those zucchini you end up with sometimes. I never know what to do with them . THANK YOU!
Too funny! Been making this for decades. Think it was grandma's recipe but I use zucchini and yellow squash. Like you said it's whatever you got...thanks for reminding me
I've had this before and it is delicious.
those tomatoes look sooooo good. I've not seen any good home grown ones this year around where we live.
That looks so good! What a great way to use up some of your extra garden produce!
When you get old and geezerish a lot flies out the window and off into the sunset. Sounds good and we go through squashes of all kinds by the ton but maters was riding on something that went out a long time ago. Taters barely got back in under the radar but peppers and eggplant went even further out. Sure am glad the eggplant wasn't dead chicken. Blessings 4 ALL yall!.
