gift in a jar cowboy casserole
(2 ratings)
I love gifts in a jar! When I give this gift, I put it in a basket with all the items needed to make the casserole (except the ground beef and cheese). There are several single men that I make baskets for... and they really appreciate having everything along with the recipe... They only have to pick up the meat and cheese on the way home. When I make this I do several at a time. I always have them on hand for a gift or for use at home! The grandchildren like to help their daddy make this.

How To Make gift in a jar cowboy casserole
-
1Pour gravy mix into wide-mouth quart jar.
-
2In a small bowl, mix together all the spices and the bouillon. Make a paper funnel or use a canning funnel to put the spice layer into the jar.
-
3Pour the wagon wheel pasta into the jar. Place lid and ring onto jar.
-
4Cut a piece of cloth in a circle that is 3 - 4 inches wider than the jar ring. (I use a pinking sheers to cut the material for a nice edging. I use a rubber band to hold the cloth in place on the jar. Then I tie a pretty ribbon over the rubber band and attach the recipe card that has a hole in it to put the ribbon through. Then tie a pretty bow.

5Preheat oven to 375 degrees.
