(Family Features) - Potato, Turkey & Veggie Casserole is a new take on an old favorite:  meat and potatoes. The surprise ingredient is canned German potato salad, definitely a delicious time-saving side dish on its own, but an ideal casserole base, too.

To get started, brown the turkey or beef seasoned with a hint of thyme leaves and garlic powder, making sure to cook completely. That way, once the casserole is assembled, it just needs to be heated through before serving. Add the entire can of READ German Potato Salad to the skillet. This mouth watering salad features traditional ingredients - sliced potatoes in a vinegary-sweet dressing, along with bacon and onions - which pair perfectly with the turkey or beef. Round out the one-dish dinner with light sour cream and mixed vegetables. Use frozen or canned vegetables, and, remember, it doesn't have to be just peas and carrots! Top with bread crumbs and bake until hot, and the crumbs are crisp.

It's a simple supper that the entire family can enjoy, fast enough for a busy weeknight - just under an hour prep to plate. Add a mixed greens salad to start and it's time to dine.  For additional delicious recipes and serving suggestions, visit www.READsalads.com.
