Garden Casserole

This has all the ingredients from the garden in one dish! 

This reminds me so much of my husband's parents and time spent in their home.  They always had a large garden and would spend time in the summer canning from the garden.  Lyle's mom always had lunch for us and she would use everything in her garden.  She often made dishes out of whatever she had on hand, and made it into a delicious casserole.  My children would play with their cousins, and we worked all day canning green beans, beets, peaches, pears, homemade applesauce, and strawberry jam.  I was so thankful for the beautiful canned vegetables and fruit in the winter time.
