I make alot of casseroles with either tomato soup, mushroom soup or cheddar cheese soup in them with potaoes, meats and choice of veggies.
But i also like making hm spaghetti sauce and meatballs in them. and freezing in individual dishes. I use taco seasoning in my meatballs sometimes or in my spaghettie sauce.
