cooking casseroles

On the fourth Thursday of each month a group of ladies from my church cook lunch for amyone in the neighborhood who wants to come.  We usually serve 60-80 people, many of whom come from the low-rent apartments across the street.  
Over the years I have learned to make quite a variety of casseroles since this is an easy way to feed a large group.  Today's entree was tater tot casserole which consists of a layer of browned ground beef, a layer of cream of mushroom soup, a layer of mixed vegetables and a topping of tater tots, baked til the tots are nicely browned.  Over the years I have developed a speciality.  If the casserole contains ground beef (and it often does) I'm the one who stirs it in a huge pot on the stove until it's nicely brown.  This is not because I'm a really talented hamburger fryer but rather because I'm the tallest cook in the kitchen and able to reach down into the pot to keep stirring and not let anything stick to the bottom of the pot.  It's good to have a talent.
