I'm relatively new to cooking and this is definitely a great find. I added some likely spices, substituted chicken and used the leftover peas/carrots from the other night and voila, an edible meal even my picky 7 yo will eat. Thanks so much. I think you've given us the perfect casserole base recipe.
