Quick, easy, distinct, and delicious is what this contemporary casserole collection is all about. Most take 20 minutes or less to put together, and there`s even a chapter of Fast Fixes , with 15 delicious casseroles all ready for the oven in 10 to 15 minutes. But saving time has not been accomplished at the expense of flavor and variety. Instead, Kim Lila brings casseroles up to speed by supplementing wholesome fresh ingredients with frozen items, prepared foods, instant grains, and freezer-case crusts, all available in super markets and gourmet take-out stores. These one-pot meals are not only quick and easy to put together but most can be frozen or refrigerated until ready to bake. Make a week`s - or even a month`s - worth of casseroles in advance, then bring practically an entire meal to the table hot from the oven in the time it would take to order out for dinner. Enjoy the variety of over 100 casseroles, including global favorites, gourmet entrees, noodle and grain dishes, side-dishes, brunch and light dishes, and desserts.
