On Wednesday, we ate quesadillas and ready made sweet potato bisque from Trader Joe's for dinner after subjecting our abdominals to an hour long Pilates class. Unfortunately, this wasn't enough for Keizo, who made a second meal of ramen noodles after dinner. Not wanting to fail him again, I planned Thursday's dinner around his hearty appetite.
Enter Grammy Phelps' "Spanish Delight" casserole recipe. Not sure where the name came from, but it's been a family favorite for years. Easy and filling!!
The original recipe calls for ground beef, but I bought ground turkey instead, which was a fine substitute. After preparing the pasta and leaving it in the colander to drain, we put the turkey, garlic and onion in the pot we used for the pasta. When the meat was cooked, add a can of creamed corn and equal amount of canned tomato soup. Season with chili powder and a bit of salt and pepper. Mix the pasta back in you are ready to eat.
Serve topped with parmesan cheese...
...green salad and more garlic toast. I dressed my salad with a combination of a creamy caesar dressing with some drizzles of balsamic vinegar. Oh how I have missed balsamic vinegar!
