"This all-purpose mix can be used for a variety of different uses, such as chili, beefaroni, pizza, spaghetti, sloppy joes and Spanish rice, etc. It is a lifesaver, when time is short after a busy workday. Meals can be prepared in a flash when this mix is on hand in the freezer...a real timesaver."

This is a great recipe. I did cut it down without any problems at all. I made it exactly as directed and added cooked pasta and cheese, stuck it in the oven and melted the cheese and had a fantastic casserole.
