Default Casserole Bread

I got to thinking about this and back in the 1970's, Casserole Bread was one
thing I made quite a lot of. It kept well and was the perfect accompaniment
for soup or a salad. For those who are unfamiliar with it, it is a yeast
bread that requires no kneading. Baked in a casserole and cut in wedges to
serve. It's not a spoon bread but an actual bread. My recipe came from the
Betty Crocker cookbook but it also occurs to me that I most likely do not
have that book any more. It had gotten so ratty from use. I had asked for
a new one and got it but the new one had mostly different recipes in it.

What I liked about the recipe was that it had a basic recipe and many
variations. So you could have plain, add onion, cheese, herbs, etc. Very
quick to fix and I often made it for potlucks because it traveled well and
everyone liked it.

But when I did a search just now, I didn't turn up too many recipes. I see
one that has cottage cheese which I'm pretty sure I didn't use. Most call
for eggs and milk. Not sure I put those in there either. Maybe the milk as
I used to use powdered milk for baking but I don't think that it took eggs.
I also turned up that people are now rediscovering it.

Did you used to make this? Eat this? I'm going to go look and see if I
have the old cookbook and if I do I will post the recipe here. Nope. Do
not have the old book. Might actually have to look for that as it did have
some good recipes in it. I no longer have Mastercook either and I know that
had a lot of the recipes. Not turning up this recipe online. The book that
I do have was I think published around 1986. Yeah, I know I could have
looked. I didn't. It's in pretty crappy shape too. It does actually have
a cheese casserole bread with a dill variation but I think the original
recipe was different.

I did find the recipe online that I have in the book that I have. How's
that for a sentence!? Here it is:
