About

My kids call this "Dad's Favorite Casserole." It is an old standby and has been enhanced with many things to this format. It can still be adjusted to your taste. If you follow the order in which I have printed it is easy and a good meal on any night. If you are organized it will take 30 to 45 minutes. Add a salad and skip the zuch if you want.
