casserole help--i thought they were quick and easy??

So...I'm not a huge fan of casseroles, but DH likes them and I'm assuming the kid might like them too.

So I set out yesterday to make one. It seemed fairly healthy so I'd be able to eat a little of it.

Thing is...it took FOREVER! Are all casseroles like that? Or did I choose a randomly labor-intensive one?

And...can something like a casserole go into a slow cooker? Or would it get too mushy?

Also...how do you put them away? I feel like if I transfer it into Tupperware it loses shape, but do I just stick the whole casserole covered in foil in the fridge?

Depends on the casserole, often they are very quick to assemble. However, I've done a few that were indeed labor intensive.

As for storage, I do it both ways. It can be put into containers if it is the type that will hold together well during the transfer. If not, store in original baker but cover the cut ends well so it won't dry out. Serving the second time isn't as pretty though as you have the dried crusties in the pan. Guys don't usually mind if they liked the original casserole. Or you can fill their plates and bring them to the table that way.
If there is a lot left, I keep in casserole dish ...period. If not, it goes in ol faithful lock n lock. I never layer it when I store it in something "if" it's a main dish or it is mush.. and no one wants to eat it. Of course if it's a side casserole ...it's layered.

I have several casseroles that take a long time.
