"This easy casserole is a favorite here. I have listed ground beef as the main meat in this recipe but you can use any ground lean red meat. I often use ground venison and it works wonderfully in this recipe."

Very easy to make, but needs more seasoning . We added rice and spices the next day and made a soup. The meatballs are very moist with the bacon added, but need some seasoning. Made for FYC tag game. Thanks for sharing!
