Introduction

This is a pretty basic easy casserole. Next time I will try adding Feta cheese to give it a different taste. If that works I'll modify the recipe. This is a pretty basic easy casserole. Next time I will try adding Feta cheese to give it a different taste. If that works I'll modify the recipe.

    Very Good
    So easy and so good. Took only one cup of noodles instead of two. I had only "normal" noodles (not whole wheat) in my cupboard and the recipe turned out just fine. Would def make that again. - 11/24/10
