And believe you me…I am so “full” of this week, I can barely put it into words! I feel like I worked a full week, today alone...and another full week yesterday, I mean I am not complaining about getting busier at work and I sure ain’t owning up to getting old, but…my stars!
Anyhoo….I have come up with another super magical ingredient to put in a casserole! This super-common, whoooddaa thought, item is probably in everyone’s pantry right now and if not…very readily accessible at your local grocery store!
Ok, see if you can guess what the secret ingredient is!!!
Ok, give up?
I know it was kind of hard, hidden right there in the title and all!
I have no idea what caused me to think of this, but I was thinking of creamy and cheesy and trying not to load this up with cheese and it turned out really yummy!
I made yet another secret ingredient recipe this week, but since it’s not a Mexican dish, I am holding it out for another day!! Let me know how much you love this one! I am also going to make it again with about half the meat to shave some points because I think it has enough stuff in it that it would be just fine!
