This casserole recipe is taken from Amy Dacyczyn's book The Tightwad Gazette #2. This is a standby at our house when I don't have the time or energy to make anything fancy. Just chop, measure, mix, cook and serve.
I usually double this recipe so we have lots of leftovers for my husband to take to work and reheat.

Thanks. I will try this tonight.
Delicious! Thanks for sharing the recipe.
This is one of our family favorites. Enjoy!
We love this recipe. Have not had it in quite a while. It is on the menu tonight while the girls take ballet. I really should try the slow cooker.
Audrey, it’s an oldie but goodie for us. I wonder if it would work in our rice cooker, too? Hmmm….
