This seven layer casserole dish was born out of my love for our growing family and increasing pantry items.
Love for our growing family means that it’s a simple meal and large enough for several people to eat. The bonus is that it’s a complete meal in just one dish.
Increasing pantry items means that many of the ingredients can be pulled right from your pantry.

Seven Layer Casserole
Similar to my Simple Texas Hash recipe, this recipe also comes from an old Minnesota church cookbook.
The original recipe looks like this.
But just like in the previous recipe, I changed this one up a little as well.
Grab your pantry items, and dig in. It’s super awesome!

You will heal. I will help.
Oh my gosh Sarah!! Turkey… you used turkey! Which means I can have this. 🙂
I’m finding that a lot of times, when something calls for ground beef and I sub in ground turkey, the taste just isn’t the same… it’s kind of blah. Then I have to start playing with herbs and spices to bump up the flavour. 🙁
Thank you for the turkey recipe. 🙂

Enjoy!
I enjoy reading your blog but this recipe caught my attention. I can’t imagine that canned corn is a good idea at all for anyone with digestive problems, similarly peppers and tomatoes are acidic and would be a problem. I also wonder whether processed bacon or turkey strips are necessary, and just end up degrading the nutrional value of the meal.
Hi, Suzanne! Thank you for reading my blog. I am sorry you were disappointed that I would share a recipe like this. I still share many IBS/IBD-focused recipes, but I no longer solely focus on those recipes. Part of my healing process has included letting go of the 5 million rules I created around food during the times when I am feeling good. When we had this meal, I was feeling great! Also, a meal like this still fits the gluten and dairy free that many people need, and it’s practical. Finally, my readers (because of the larger mission I’m trying to share), do not have the digestive issues some of us do, and they appreciate these recipes. Even still, every single ingredient I did use for this recipe was top-notch. Again, sorry to disappoint, but I’m confident you will enjoy future recipes. Thanks!
