Underground Rooster Casserole

It’s possible you’ll be asking, what’s underground rooster casserole? In accordance with Amish 365, “‘Underground’ meals are in style among the many Amish…All of the ‘underground’ means is the ‘good things’, the meaty and creamy goodness is buried beneath a layer of mashed potatoes, which you’ll should dig by (robust job) to get to. Underground Rooster Casserole is a favourite recipe among the many Amish due to the quite simple components.”

My model of the casserole is made in your Immediate Pot (in fact). The potatoes are steamed beneath strain then the rooster gravy is made utilizing the saute setting. Lastly the casserole is baked through the use of your air fryer lid (you’ll be able to nonetheless make this with out the an air fryer lid!). It’s so cool that the Immediate Pot has so many capabilities and makes use of. You’ll be able to actually make all the casserole in a single pot.

I used to be somewhat skeptical about this recipe for a pair causes. The primary is the brief, fundamental record of components. I used to be not sure it could have sufficient taste. The second motive is the Velveeta appeared like an odd selection. Why Velveeta within the creamy gravy? It appeared unusual. Nevertheless, I used to be very happy with the outcomes. My son was going loopy at how a lot he beloved it. You probably have a difficulty with utilizing Velveeta you’ll be able to completely depart it out! However if in case you have some readily available I feel you’ll just like the creamy silky really feel it offers the sauce.
