My sister shared this original recipe, but I adapted it for my family's taste. I like that it's a nutritious meal in one dish, and when my boys were young, it was a good way to disguise vegetables. This is also a good dish for potlucks. -Jo Prusha, Omaha, Nebraska

I followed the recipe exactly, but my casserole didn't turn out as good as the pictures. I'm not sure what I did wrong.

This casserole was a little bland for my taste. I think I'll add some more spices next time.
