Every now and then it's fun to throw together ingredients and see how it turns out. This is one of those instances where I threw a bunch of "safe" ingredients together. There was really no way to screw this combination up. It's a simple, hearty casserole. It easily becomes vegetarian by leaving out the beef. It's flexible, too. There's nothing stopping you from swapping chicken in for the beef and adding in some hot sauce for a Buffalo style casserole. Anyways, we liked it and that's all that counts.
