LOL - Julie, NONE of Alan's recipes, or mine, for a casserole would
call for pasta, or rice, or "cream of something or other" - you
Americans have done something completely your own with the concept;
the original version is a combo of whatever meat, beans, grains, and
veggies you have around, flavoured with whatever spices you have
handy, and cooked in whatever liquid you like. So perfectly suited to
crockpot cooking, where you just reduce the liquid volumes. Experiment
away...
