DH & I are always looking for new dinners to try. Esp now that it's getting chilly at night ( who would have thought August in STL would be cold!!???)

 If you can, post here your fave casserole/soup recipes.

I am really into squash soup.  I never use recipies and do everything to taste so bear with me, measurements are a guesstimate...

1 acorn squash, cooked.  (I generally bake mine like normal, or steam it)

1 can veg (or chic) broth

1 cup milk

1/2 t red chili power

2 T butter (if you don't use it cooking the squash)

less than 1/4 c brown sugar

salt and pepper to taste.

So cook the squash...  combine all ingredients and heat until warm.  I use my blender and do 1/2 the squah with each liquid before combining all.  But if you have a processer or something that would work to.

I think I'm actually going to make this for dinner tonight...

Easy Taco Soup:

1 - 1 1/2 lb ground beef

1 medium onion, chopped 

Brown meat and onion in pan, add to slow cooker (or large pot)

Add: 

1 can green chiles (diced)

3 can diced tomatoes

3 can beans (any type, I generally use 3 different types)

1 can corn

1 packet taco seasoning (low sodium)

1 packet ranch seasoning

Cook on low for 6 hours or so. Makes a lot - at least 8 servings and freezes really well!

Optional: add 1 TBS cayenne pepper or a can of jalapenos for extra kick.
