Master Recipe
Laura, Indiana

If your time is limited this recipe helps you combine ingredients to prepare a fine skillet meal or a pleasant warm casserole.

Keep this "Master Recipe" for those nights when you're not sure what to make and don't 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 Casserole.

For the campers among us, this quick and easy way of cooking allows extra time to sit, knit, fish, hike, snooze, or any of the other things we enjoy in the great outdoors.
