    The beef casserole with rice looks delicious. I was thinking if I make this, I will probably wrap up the entire mixture in flour tortillas and then brown them up a bit in the frying pan. Perhaps adding some jalapeno cheese (in the mixture) would be good as well.
    Just an idea!

    Thank you Julia for all of the dedication and hard work you do to give us such wonderful and easy recipes.
