5-Star Casserole, Part 2
Working these days seems to leave me without a brain to come up with ideas for dinner, so I have been working through Cooking Light's list of Five-Star Casseroles. I must admit that the Tamale Chicken Casserole, was better the second today. On tonight's menu was Baked Pasta with Sausage, Tomatoes, and Cheese Again, I am not sure I would rate it "5-Star", but it is quick, easy, and again, relatively inexpensive to make. Also, the recipe makes a quite a bit. I must admit, for those of us who love my mom's spaghetti recipe, this recipe is more savory, and lacks in some of the flavor, but that could be modified with some tweaking made to the tomato base next time. I would also add one more can of the diced tomatoes. Overall, I would give it a 5 for ease and economy, and a 3.5 for taste, but generally think it is worth a try. Finally, I wasn't sure I would have a casserole dish large enough so I ended it up cooking it in the crock for my crock pot which worked perfectly.
