Cook rice, noodles, or macaroni as directed. Add seasoning and desired sauce to meat. Grease a baking dish. Male layers, starting with rice or noodles, then add vegetables, end with meat mixture. Top with crumbs or cereal. Bake at 350 until bubbly, about 20 minutes. Serve.
*Magic Mix:
4 c. instant dry milk
1 c. butter or margarine (2 sticks)
1 c. flour or 1/2 c. cornstarch
Combine milk, flour, and butter in a large bowl. Use two knives to cut the butter in to the dry ingredients. Mix until it looks like cornmeal. Keep tightly covered in the refrigerator. It will keep for several months. Magic Mix can be used in many recipes to make food prep easy and economical. (makes 5 c.)
