"I'm always searching for a great casserole recipe, since I love Velveeta cheese I am posting this here so I will have it saved to make soon. For a kid friendly alternative; Prepare as directed, substituting 1 pound ground beef for the sausage and 1 cup each shredded carrots and zucchini for the 3 cups sliced zucchini. Also, try using a fun pasta shape, such as wagon wheels."
