Recipe: fall proof casserole

If there is one food that screams fall it is pumpkin and in this recipe I have used diced pumpkin in the easiest recipe known to man. As usual I used some new ingredients but also tossed in some leftovers to create this. Here’s how you make this amazingly simple, yet fall appropriate dish.

The general idea of this dish is to have a filling base of veggies topped up cheese for some added flavor. I had some bacon, eggs and creme fraiche left when I started making this so I decided to use it as well. It all worked surprisingly well together and many people on Facebook asked for the recipe. So here it goes!

I hope you enjoy this easy dish. It’s not rocket science to make this, but it does take some time because your dish has to go into the oven. Once done, you’ll be rewarded with a great savory dish that combines all the fall flavors you could possibly want.
