Cajun Beef Casserole

Simple and Delicious - I love that kind of cooking and this magazine from Taste of Home just keeps sending me more and more of those kinds of recipes!! Love it! Josh threw this quick casserole together on a night when he was home early and he did a great job!! He even made me get the camera out before he cut it because he was so impressed with himself! :) A little too tomatoey for my taste, but still pretty good... I really need to stop picking recipes that include tomatoe paste cause they usually seem too tomatoey for me! :) Who creates the menus in this place anyhow! :)
