As i went into jr high my mom went to work out side our home. I usually got home from school before she got home from work. This is one of the recipes she would leave out for me to choose from to prepare for her to pop in the oven when she got home. My dad and us kids loved it. I still make it. Brings back lots of good memories. Thinking i'll make it again tonight. I often add mushrooms. I use sweet potatoes add well drained any kind of left over greens or black beans when i have them also just to make the casserole a bit different each time.
