ITALIAN GROUND BEEF CASSEROLE
I found something like this on the allrecipes site, but changed it slightly. The original was billed as a meatloaf, but my version is too soft to call a loaf. Bake it in a casserole dish and scoop it out with a big spoon. Delicious with parmesan sprinkled pierogies or tortellini.
