Would the intended recipient want a cookbook with easier/quicker recipes or something with possibly more complicated but really good recipes? Cover and Bake tends to the latter so if the mother is time-crunched, it might not be the best.
If you go on Amazon and type in "casseroles" you will get a lot of hits. There are more casserole cookbooks than I would have omagined. Something by Betty Crocker, Pillsbury, Southern Living, Good Housekeeping, etc. would probably have easier more basic recipes.
Another suggestion isn't limited to casseroles, but has interesting and appealing recipes and is geared for the busy mom: "Desperation Dinners."
