Source: I have cooked this for nearly forty years for my family. It is something that can be prepared and then have time for playing or homework. Now that my children are gone, it gives me time on the computer. It has always been one of my frugal recipes, but for something special, I add one can of chopped water chestnuts.

Easy and Good Beef Casserole

I made this tonight for my kids and hubby who is on the road all the time and I have been told that I have to double it next time so they can have seconds, and he can take some to heat up later.

Chucked it together in 5 minutes and painted my bedroom while it was cooking, well some of my bedroom and they all thought that I was wonderful so I will keep our secret for ever and ever and you will be my secret painting fairy for ever and ever. Thank you so much
