The ingredients may sound like an odd mix but trust me, its delish! Its also a nice crazy weeknight or day before pay day kinda meal with all the random ingredients that you sometimes have one part but not the other to make a normal meal (spaghetti sauce no spaghetti noodles or taco seasoning and meat but no taco shells/tortillas). It's original title was Cheese-Topped Beef Bake but its known around this Quad Mom house as Cheezy Beef Bake. You're jeans might not appreciate it but your belly will :)
It warms up great for lunches the next day at work IF you're lucky enough to have leftovers. I ended up dishing out the serving I brought to BOTH my bosses and one is on a strict no carb diet! LoL! She couldn't help but try it, it made the whole office smell like love! <3
