Mexican Casserole – Cinco de Mayo

Slow Cooker Sweet and Savory Boneless Pork Chops Meal
Last night I needed a meal that would be ready after my son’s musical program at school. I knew we would not have enough time for a real meal beforehand so I wanted it to be ready at 6:30 pm. I just wanted to add a salad and be ready to sit at the table…
Simple Cheesy Baked Rigatoni with Meatballs
I let my kids pick their birthday dinner each year. My son asked for pasta and sauce. His sister was totally annoyed, “He wants spaghetti and sauce?
