Seasonings of choice.
2 tbsp. buttered bread crumbs, slightly crushed corn flakes, crackers, or herb seasoned stuffing mix, or croutons, or/what have you.
Method:
In a 1½ quart casserole, blend soup and milk.
Stir in meat, noodles, or other, and vegetables, and spices.
Top with crumbs.
Bake at 350 degrees F. oven for 30 minutes.
