This is a recipe Master that I have kept in my cupboard for those nights when you are not sure what to make and do not want to run the grocery store. You may use leftovers, clean out the refrigerator or even raid your cupboards. There are two types of meals you can make from this, skillet or a casserole.

Choose ONE from EACH of the Categories:

BREADS AND CEREALS (1 cup raw)

Macaroni
Spaghetti
Rice
Any types of Pasta

SAUCE (1 can of soup plus 1 1/2 cups of milk or water)

Cream of Potato
Cream of Chicken
Cream of Mushroom
Cream of Celery
Tomato Soup
French Onion Soup
Cream of Broccoli

MEAT, POULTRY, FISH OR BEANS (1 -1 1/2 pounds COOKED)

Chopped Beef or Turkey
Ham cubes
Chicken
Turkey
Tuna
Salmon
Beans
Frankfurters
Eggs

VEGETABLES (1 1/2 to 2 cups canned, cooked or raw)

Carrots
Peas
Corn
Green Beans
Broccoli
Spinach
Mixed Vegetables
Green Pepper

DAIRY (optional)

1 to 2 cups of cheese or combination
Cheddar
Mozzarella
Co-Jack
Swiss
Provolone
Muenster

1. Choose one food from each of the four food groups above (dairy is optional). Stir in a skillet a bowl for a casserole.

2. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Other suggestions to add more flavor are; garlic, chopped onion, basil, oregano, green pepper, green onions.

For a skillet supper, bring to a boil. Reduce to lower setting, cover pan and simmer 30 minutes until pasta or rice is tender. Stir often to keep items from sticking. Stir in cheese the last 5 minutes.

For a casserole, bake at 350 degrees for one hour covered.

Add a sprinkle of cheese to top for the last 10 minutes. Some other toppings are tater tots, crushed corn flakes, crushed potato chips or bread crumbs.
