Old Fashioned Casserole

Although named Old Fashioned, this casserole could just as easily be called a kitchen sink casserole.  Don't have ground beef?  Use sausage.  Have broccoli but no peppers?  No problem.  Have some fresh tomatoes?  Dice them up and add them, too.  Want to mix Parmesan into the bread crumbs?  Have at it.  I use this casserole when I have vegetables are getting a little too soft to serve without cooking but are still good and flavorful with a little love.  Don't want to heat your kitchen?  Throw this in a slow cooker and cook on high for 4 to 5 hours or low for 8 to 9 hours.
