 RH> You needed a bit of lettuce and tomato on the top too. (G) I don't

The tomato is included in the salsa, usually... (G)  But, yes, that
could also be available to put on top...  We don't usually have lettuce
in the house, as I can't eat it, and it goes bad before Richard would
eat the whole thing... another reason to make it a cassarole instead. ;)

 RH> know if you've read about my "Monday (or whatever night of the week you
 RH> make it) Night Surprise" but it's similar.  It started as an end of the
 RH> month, use whatever's available meal that is actually good made with
 RH> prior planning as well.  I'd brown a pound (for the 4 of us) of ground
 RH> beef or turkey, a cut up onion, bell pepper if I had it, garlic if I
 RH> wanted an Italian flavor and drain most of the fat. Then I'd put in
 RH> mushrooms (if I had), some sort of vegetable and a can or two of
 RH> tomato sauce (sometimes one can of sauce, one of water) and seasonings
 RH> to taste.  Rice or some sort of pasta would be cooked along side but
 RH> mixed in before serving, topped with whatever cheese went with the
 RH> spicing. Cheap but good and filling.

That sounds good, too.  :)
