TASTES LIKE THANKSGIVING CASSEROLE
A tradition for us to use up Thanksgiving Leftovers. If possible I enjoy it even more than Thanksgiving Dinner (I always have been a sucker for casseroles). Found in Dec/Jan 2008 issue of TOH. Submitted by Mary Lou Timpson. A lot of ingredients, and slightly labor intensive, but worth the effort. If you are using leftover potatoes skip steps 3-5, and 12.
