Cheesy Minute/Sandwich Steak Casserole

bellisima's Note:

Super cheesy, stick to your ribs, definitely NOT a diet dish. Fairly quick to make...kids LOVE it. My b/f came up with this one night when all we had in the freezer were some minute/sandwich steaks. I have 30 minutes for prep time but I've seen him toss this together in half that time. The kids don't like chopped green peppers but I think they would be great in this dish. Also great for covered dish suppers.

This very good. I didn't have any minute steaks on hand, but had a couple of leftover sirloin steaks I chopped up. My family loved it. Instead of ketsup I used spagetti sauce, I seasoned that with garlic powder, oinion powder and oregano, which worked our real well. Thanks for the post!
