'This recipe is a favorite of my vegetarian friends,' writes Virginia Anthony of Blowing Rock, North Carolina. 'I lightened it by using egg substitute and reduced-fat cheese. I also added a few more vegetables.'
This Chili Mac Casserole recipe contains shredded reduced-fat mexican cheese blend, lean ground beef, elbow macaroni, kidney beans, diced tomatoes and more.
Bake the potatoes and shred the cheese the day before making the soup. If the soup needs to simmer awhile on the stove, you may need to add more chicken broth.
Five layers of Mexican-inspired delights are topped by a layer of vegetables, then smothered in cheese and garnished with black olives. The vegetables may be varied according to taste.
French-style green beans and chopped onion are stirred into a homemade sour cream sauce then topped with a cracker and grated cheese crust in this baked casserole serving eight.
