Hotdish

The basic, beloved Minnesota Hotdish.  This recipe came from one of my elementary school lunch ladies.  My BFF from home, JLB, actually saved it as it was printed on the back of an elementary school lunch menu circa 1972.  I've tweaked the recipe a little to adapt to my tastes, but you all get the idea.  My only problem is finding "kluski" in California -- not enough Polish and Slavic people in the community to warrant that section in the grocery store.  Kluski is to Poland as pasta is to Italy.  I just substitute egg noodles, but it would be waaaaaaaaay more fun to actually find kluski in the grocery store packaged as such. 

Thank you, JLB, for bringing back a fond taste of childhood.  You're not even Polish!!  LOL
