Cook's Note: Green peppers, onions and mushrooms are optional. Make sure the person you are gifting this wonderful casserole to likes those types of veggies. If not just omit them fro the recipe.
This recipe yields 2 casseroles , so plan one for your family and one for a friend. Think of someone who might need a reminder that they have friends who care about them - a new mom in your neighborhood, a family who’s moving, or someone with an illness.
Freezing Instructions: If you're freezing the second casserole prepare and assemble both casseroles.

When ready to use remove from freezer, thaw and bake.
