Taco
Casserole
Since its just the 2 of us, I’ll
make up 2 smaller casserole dishes and freeze one before it goes in the
oven. A few weeks later I’ll thaw and
bake for a fresh dinner. Or the 2nd
casserole will go to a family in need of a dinner! I’ve been buying extra casserole dishes when
I go thrifting so the recipient doesn’t need to return the dish.
