Casserole Italiano

This is a quick and easy casserole with enough flavor to please the adults and bland enough for the children to eat. I always cook half and freeze the other half for later. It makes an easy one dish meal with a bag of salad to bring a new mom or a family in need a dinner in a jiffy. It is also one of those meals that I usually have all the ingredients in the pantry already. If your looking for easy this is it.
