Enjoy this even better the next day! Plus it freezes, place left-overs in a freezer bag. To thaw, heat sauce pan with water. When water starts to boil turn off and place freezer bag into the water until thawed out.  Place mixture into a casserole dish, cover with foil and cook in oven 350* for 30 minutes.  May need to add 1/2 cup water so it will not be dry.
