I know I have already told you all how much I love this time of year. Can I just tell you once again? I love it… and last night was proof that this is a wonderful time of year. Ronnie’s High School Football Team played their first championship game of the season and it was a shut-out. The weather was perfect and the game was even better. Now the countdown is on for Thanksgiving. I have been busy planning appetizers, a new stuffing recipe, debating what soup to serve. But I have to tell you, in our house, I am not sure if we enjoy the Thanksgiving meal or the Thanksgiving Leftovers Casserole.
I love reinventing leftovers and this may be our absolute favorite reinvention. It’s so easy and the combination of flavors are amazing! There is just something about the creamy mashed potatoes mixed with the crunch stuffing and the pop of corn. Oh and don’t forget the gravy, yep, it’s in there too! Thanksgiving Leftovers Casserole is a true crowd favorite Around the Family Table. Sometimes we even invite friends over for a casual get-together over the weekend.
I will warn you, Thanksgiving Leftovers Casserole is not very kind to your oven if you overflow like I did!
- Leftover Mashed Potatoes
- Leftover Turkey
- Leftover Gravy
- Leftover Corn
- Leftover Stuffing
- Layer each ingredient in order of ingredients.
- Bake at 400 degrees for ½ hour or until stuffing is crispy.

November 18, 2012 at 6:41 amEvery year I try a new dish with our leftovers, but so far nothing has compared to our love for my basic leftover casserole. There is a big debate in our house if it is even better then the original meal. 🙂

November 18, 2012 at 10:06 amThis is exactly what we make after Thanksgiving! We call it “mess”…because it’s such a mess. And everyone loves it!
Amanda @ MarocMama
November 18, 2012 at 10:14 amWe’ve often made something similar and it’s always a hit. My favorite part is when the stuffing on top crunches up a little bit.

Lane @ Supper for a Steal
November 19, 2012 at 8:42 amGreat way to use up a bunch of leftovers. I could see making a few of these and freezing them for quick dinners.
Sarah
November 19, 2012 at 9:50 amIsabel, I don’t know why I never thought of doing this? This is so perfect and easy to make. You have the whole Thanksgiving dinner in one bite. I love this idea.

Brianne @ Cupcakes & Kale Chips
November 20, 2012 at 5:57 amI could totally see my mom loving this casserole – while I like to keep my foods all separate on my plate, she likes to mix them all together.
Faye Leong
November 21, 2012 at 7:35 amYou have a great reinvention idea, Isabel. All those leftovers ingredients are perfect for Casserole….Yummy! Thanks for sharing with us.
Martin D. Redmond
November 24, 2012 at 3:16 pmI made this today Isabel – It’s so good! Definitely a keeper. Funny, I didn’t make my typical quart of gravy this year, so I had to whip some up to add in…but totally worth it!
