VEGETABLE & RICE CASSEROLE
This was so GOOD! I had stuff left over. We are on a very tight budget, which precludes the extravagant waste of food, so I concocted this recipe in order to stick to my guns, so to speak. It was WAY good, and you can substitute your own ingredients. It is mega-versatile. Enjoy it! NOTE: You can also add pre-cooked meat to this, and season accordingly to make a one-dish meal!
