 It
doesn't take a can of soup to make a casserole. Hillary
Clinton said something similiar to that, but I can't
remember....
Anyway, the soup. No, no, NO! Blech--don't go there.
Do you have any idea how many milligrams of salt ONE
can Cream of Yuck soup has in it? Did you know that
stuff has been declared public enemy number one to your
health and is on the same No-No list as french fries
from Burger King?
Okay, I think I made my point. There are so many ways
to make a casserole without having to resort to a can
of soup or a slab of melted Velveeta.
Casseroles are wonderful creatures-- they are easy
to freeze, to reheat and simple stuff to serve for just
about anything, company included. One stop dinner--from
the Pyrex dish to the plate, it's just that simple.
I love that! Throw a little salad or a steamed vegetable
into the mix and bada bing, bada bang--dinner.
 Here
is my idea of a good time-- Enchilasagna. It's fast
and easy, too and it's from my brand new book, Healthy
Foods: An irreverent guide to understanding nutrition
and feeding your family well.
Variations:
What do you get when you cross a lasagna with an enchilada?
Give up? Follow this recipe and you'll find out. For
variety, it wouldn't be hard to substitute chicken for
the beef, or do a veggie version with just black beans.
Now you have THREE wonderful casseroles--with nary a
soup can or Velveeta hunk to be found!
