Thoughts
This was very quick and easy and I had the ingredients already so it was a win win. I used ground beef because although I love whole baked turkey but I’m not a fan of turkey lunch meat or ground turkey. Besides, the ground turkey I have is for making my dog Kaiyo’s food.
This was very good. I’ll be making it again!

Another yummy pantry meal. My husband loves this kind of dish on a cold winter’s night.
I make recipes like this all year round. Our favorite is chili 🙂
This looks great.
My mother, bless her heart, was not a good cook but she made a similar dish that was great.
It was probably Johnny Marzetti, we love it more than this recipe. My mom also made this when I was growing up.
Vicki,
This sounds delish! I do love ground turkey, so I’d use that instead of ground beef. Kaiyo’s special dog food sounds good and healthy, too!
So good to see you commenting and I hope to see you blogging again soon!
A good weeknight recipe- easy, tasty, and filling. Of course I’m vegan, but I can still recognize a good recipe when I see one.
My son and his family were vegetarians and then vegan for many years. He got into Jiu-Jitsu and started eating meat again. My granddaughter only eats chicken though.
That looks good. I would have it with ground turkey. Happy weekend to you, Vicki.
I would have made it with ground turkey but all I had in the fridge was for the dog food.
Looks great!
It was very good!
My husband would love this, he loves casseroles of every type! Thanks for the recipe.
You are welcome Melynda (love how you spell your name). I love pretty much every casserole I’ve ever tried.
Ro-tel is a great pantry staple! I’m surprised to see milk with it, though.
best… mae at maefood.blogspot.com
I’m surprised too now that you said that. Usually if a recipe uses Ro-Tel and milk it’s to make a dip,
This looks like a wonderful weeknight dish when time is short.
It was quick and easy and tasted good.
These are good flavours to put all together anytime so this sounds good!
I agree!
