Invent your own one-dish combinations, switching ingredients for
variety. We stirred together the following mixtures and liked the easy
preparation. Each casserole bakes 1 hour and 20 minutes, eliminating
the need to precook the pasta or rice. But don't limit yourself to
these taste-tested recipes -- experiment with different flavors and
create family favorites.
