JW's Pepper and Mozzarella Casserole Recipe

Recipesfull introduces to you: Cinco de Mayo Recipes. (JW's Pepper and Mozzarella Casserole Recipe). This is a recipe my Dad, an 85 year old coal mining engineer, came up with. Obviously when he retired from coal mining he had way to much time on his hands, so Mom gave him an apron. The rest is history. If on a budget this recipe can be adjusted accordingly. Remember a little of this, a little of that. It will come out tasting great. Get creative. Dad was partial to fettuccini, but this goes great with just about anything.
