As a cattle rancher, my husband's a big fan of beef. For him to comment on a poultry dish is rare. But he always tells me, "I love this casserole!" I first tasted it at a potluck; now, I fix it for my family (we have a 3-year-old daughter) once or twice a month, and I'm asked to take it to most every get-together.

This recipe was given to me by a co-worker whose family is from India. I have served it many times at family get-togethers and brunches, and even at an engagement shower for a friend. I enclosed this recipe with her gift.

I first had this as a teenage babysitter, when the children’s mom prepared it for us to eat while she was out. The kids loved it, and so did I! Now I make it for my own kids.

Barbara Beyer of Two Rivers, Wisconsin shares this hearty pork, corn and noodle dish she learned to make from her grandmother. "We never have a family get-together without it," she notes. "It's a great addition to a buffet and makes a filling meal with the addition of warm rolls."

This is a special meal in our house—as soon as I get ribs, I know which dish my family will ask me to make. My husband and I have three children, so I've learned to be a versatile cook!

These are a convenient entree since the ingredients can be cut, marinated and threaded ahead of time. Then they go immediately from the fridge to the grill or broiler.
