Bethany Gift & Gourmet Market

Our Bethany Gift & Gourmet Market needs plenty of homemade casseroles each day! Whether you make one of our Bethany Favorites or share a beloved family recipe, your delicious contribution will help make the Market a success.

Casserole Preparation Guidelines
To help us package and sell casseroles safely and consistently, please follow these guidelines:

• Casseroles must be 8×8 inches. Please do not make larger sizes.
• Casseroles may be freshly made or frozen.
• Place casseroles in disposable 8×8-inch aluminum containers.
• Wrap casseroles tightly in cellophane or foil. Please do not use plastic lids.
• Place each wrapped casserole in a gallon-size zipper plastic bag.
• Quiches should be made in disposable 9-inch pie plates, wrapped tightly in cellophane or foil, and placed in a gallon-size zipper plastic bag.
• Family Favorites must include a copy of the recipe with your name.

Have a favorite casserole recipe your family loves? We’d love for you to share it! Please include a copy of the recipe with your casserole so shoppers can recreate the dish at home.

We need many Bethany Favorites casseroles to keep a ready supply on hand. Please consider making one of our favorite recipes—Cozy Chicken Bake, Italian Pasta Casserole, or Sausage Quiche—to help keep our freezer stocked during the Market.
