Notes

Cooking time for this recipe is about 40 to 50  minutes browning each ingredient PLUS an additional 45 minutes in the oven.

I like to brown the ingredients separately in a skillet before layering them into a casserole dish so that the skillet is not crowded with the vegetables. If you are short on time or have a large skillet, you can brown the vegetable ingredients together in any combination that you like.
