This tasty casserole is modified from an old-style 1950’s recipe that involves cans of condensed soup. YEK. This version is a little less fattening. For an even lighter version, omit the mayo. I don’t. I like the way it creates a delicious crust,when blended with buttered bread crumbs. The salsa adds a wonderful zip and complements all flavors in this savory, crumbly, amazing comfort food. I just dropped a pan off to a friend that has a brand new baby and house of hungry kids to feed. I also made plain jasmine rice as a side dish. It takes just about an hour to prepare and bake, but every minute is worth it.
