IT'S RECIPE WEDNESDAY borrowed from the Queen of Clean
BEEF LOMBARDI
This is such an easy recipe and so delicious. It’s a great make-ahead dish because you can assemble the casserole and freeze it for up to one month. Also great for a potluck. I made it to take to a friend who had surgery and the family loved it. I believe I got it originally from Southern Living.
