10 Loaf Pan Dinners for Seniors Living Alone (No Leftovers)

That big nine by thirteen dish is not a bad pan. It fed your people for thirty years. It is just the wrong shape for the number of people at your table now. A loaf pan is narrow and deep. The same food sits in a column instead of spread out thin, so it holds its moisture, the layers stay layers, and you get a proper slice with everything standing up in it. So these are not smaller casseroles. They are better shaped ones. Ten whole dinners today, every one in the loaf pan, every one making two helpings. Supper tonight and lunch tomorrow, and nothing staring at you on day four. Number seven is two completely different dinners cooked in the same pan at the same time. WHAT IS IN THIS VIDEO Why a deep pan beats a wide one, which is not about size at all One. Meatloaf, and why you must not pack it down Two. Lasagna for one, with no-boil noodles and no pot Three. Shepherd's pie, and why you spread the potato with a fork Four. Salmon loaf, a Depression dish worth bringing back Five. King Ranch chicken, which belongs to Texas Six. Baked spaghetti, and the two minutes that decide it Seven. Two different dinners in one pan at the same time Eight. Chicken pot pie with a store crust and no apology Nine. Enchilada bake Ten. How to halve any casserole you already know Five ways a deep pan catches people out, and they are all the same reason Everything is measured for one person. Two at the table, use the big dish and double it. Oven is three hundred fifty, which is one hundred eighty Celsius, or one hundred sixty in a fan oven. That is the only number in the whole video. THE RECIPE BOOK Everything from every video, written down with the measurements and the times, in one book you can keep on the counter. Scan the square on screen, or the link is pinned at the top of the comments. Nothing in it is held back from the videos. Tell me what casserole you stopped making because of the size of it. I want to see if we all stopped making the same one. I am Denise.
