This casserole remix IDEA is the brain child of my husband Daniel. Here is what I did to add extra veggies to our left over Meat Loaf dinner. I decided to make a casserole type meal. Don't be intimidated by the list of ingredients. JUST USE WHAT YOU HAVE ON HAND TO ADD FLAVOR. I hate to throw away good food, so I found a great way to use OUR LEFTOVERS in this casserole dish. We enjoyed it, and only needed dinner Rolls to go with it. you could also add a salad if desired. Perhaps this might give you an idea the next time you have left overs. IT'S A MEAL IN ONE DISH & IT WAS VERY TASTY.
