Diet Beef Casserole

Diet Beef Casserole has long been one of my personal favorite meals whether I am dieting or not. It has a very special taste that can be enhanced by adding a few different herbs or maybe an extra vegeatable or two. I prefer herbs because I grow a wide range of herbs in my garden and love the tatse of fresh herbs in my cooking.
