I was short on time for whipping something up for dinner and I wanted something yummy to eat.
I had some ground beef out so I thought it would be best to find a recipe to use it up.
Then it was off to find out my recipe notebooks and see if I could find something, anything for dinner.
Ahh… I stumbled across this recipe that I found on Recipezaar way back in January. >oops!<
I double checked the ingredients and we had everything in the house. (miracle)
The whole meal whipped together in no time.
This is one meal that was a huge hit with everyone.
The casserole has a fantastic flavor and really doe not take long to bake.
Spence gave it a thumbs up and Nate went back for seconds.
He rarely ever has seconds!
This is defiantly one that we will be eating again.
