Bottom-line, don't be afraid to just use what you have in your kitchen. I really liked this dish and it was relatively easy and I made a lot of modifications because...I just didn't have the ingredients! I used left-over spaghetti and a 9"x9" glass dish as I didn't have a pie dish. I didn't have the Parmesan cheese or eggs either! THEN! I didn't have ground beef so I used the left over filet mignon from a few nights and since it had been already cooked, I let didn't add it to the onion mix right away. After the onion mix was browned, I added the finely chopped filet mignon and once they were mixed nicely, I added the tomato mixture. I didn't have the green bell pepper (plus...I don't like them anyway), and, I quadrupled the garlic. I used 24oz of stewed tomatoes. AND! I didn't have the tomato paste! SO! Once everything was mixed, I followed the same rules as listed, but let the dish sit for 10 minutes before serving it so that the sauce tomato sauce had a moment to firm up. If I have time, I'll just create my own recipe. It was really good! I hope this helps.

This recipe was such a great "quiche stock" as someone else posted, that I decided to finally post my first recipe. Thank you, lorig23!

Easy! Easy! and DELICIOUS! I made a nice meal out of it and it was tremendously filling. Since I LOVE me some spice...I started out by sautéing 1 large yellow onion and 4 large cloves of garlic, with butter. I then added a healthy teaspoon of cayenne pepper and pepper flakes along with 2 cups of cubed ham. I probably could have added 2 cups of broccoli florets, but I chose to go with fresh basil instead. Before I placed it into the oven, I added some nice croutons. EXCELLENT! Hey...when my mom asks me for a recipe, that says a lot!
