My children and grandchildren ask for this casserole all the time. I invented the recipe out of necessity one day using just what I had on hand.—Wanda Jacobs, Willard, Missouri

Reviews
this is a very simple yet tasty quick meal to make. I changed a few things, instead of stewed tomatoes I used diced tomatoes with lime juice and cilantro and instead of regular tomato sauce, I used Rotel brand tomato sauce for a little more spice. I would make this again. I also changed the ground beef to ground turkey.
