Seven Layer Dinner is an easy to prepare entree that combines meat, vegetables and starch in one dish.
This is one dish that you can vary to suit your tastes…..convert it to Six Layer Dinner, by removing the mushroom layer. Use fresh corn cut off the cob or fresh tomatoes when they are in season.
Prepare it the night before and then just pop it in the oven for a no fuss meal the next day (allow an extra 1/2 hour of cooking if it is right from the refrigerator).
It is very nice served with dill pickles or you could prepare a green salad.
