It is pretty yummy Claire : )
Could I substitute rice for the pasta?
I don’t know why you couldn’t Deb. In most casseroles like this you can easily substitute the “pasta” part for rice. It should taste really good.
Hi, first off thank you so much for creating this awesome faith-filled website with so many good recipes and budgeting ideas.
I am making this recipe but only had spaghetti so I decided to forgo the noodles and use corn tortillas instead. I also added cumin and a little oregano to spice things up.
This is a great recipe!
Thank you Maggie. Yes you can use tortillas in place of the noodles.
