Times are tough all over. Food is expensive and paychecks are dwindling and in some cases disappearing. We are eating more beans, lentils and split peas than ever. Sometimes, I appease the Good Guy and put meat in it, sometimes, I don’t. This is a great CHEAP and tasty recipe given to me a decade ago by a dear friend. It is tried and true.
Should I warn you that this is a big casserole? It feeds a veritable army. You can freeze the leftovers, or you can make two smaller pans, or you can halve the recipe before you make it.
