With a variety of canned and packaged foods and a
few leftovers in your refrigerator, you can create a
casserole in minutes. Mix and match one ingredient
from each category to suit your taste and supplies you
have on hand. Choose selections that enhance each
other.
Layer all ingredients except topping in a greased 2
quart casserole dish, adding salt and other seasonings
to taste. Bake at 350~ until hot thorugh for 20 to 25
minutes. Sprinkle on topping and bake until slightly
browned - another 10 to 15 minutes longer.
