Many years ago when Phil Donohue was still on tv, he had Susan St. James on his show. She made some recipes that I used to make and my family loved, but I cannot for the life of me remember all the ingredients or how to put them all together.
The first one was a recipe for a barley casserole that had barley, fresh veggies, some kind of cheese (I think Swiss or Mozzarella) and liquid of some sort, and it was baked.
The second one had noodles, onions, tomato soup,corn, and some kind of meat (either chicken or ground beef) and it was baked also.
If you know these recipes, please post them! I would love to make these again.
