Combine 1 (8-ounce) container sour cream, 1 cup milk, 1 cup water, 1
teaspoon salt, and 1 teaspoon pepper with Sauce Maker (omit sour cream
and milk when using tomatoes). Stir in Vegetable, Pasta/Rice,
Meat/Fish/Poultry, and, if desired, Extras. Spoon into a lightly
greased 13- x 9-inch baking dish.

Bake, covered, at 350? for 1 hour and 10 minutes. Uncover and sprinkle
with Toppings; bake 10 more minutes. Makes 6 servings.

Invent your own one-dish combinations, switching ingredients for
variety. We stirred together the following mixtures and liked the easy
preparation. Each casserole bakes 1 hour and 20 minutes, eliminating
the need to precook the pasta or rice. But don't limit yourself to
these taste-tested recipes -- experiment with different flavors and
create family favorites.
