VEGETABLE AND MEAT CASSEROLE
I got this from Lidia's Italy but made some changes. The original recipe uses ground turkey, no carrots or celery. I spiced it up a bit and use what ever veggies I have on hand and lots of them. I was surprised how much my family enjoyed this and it changes every time I make it.
