"No Fuss" Entree hints:
1. Any entree can be used as a sauce or topping for potatoes, vegetables, pasta, and rice (favorites include Turkey Chili, Beef Stew and Five-Bean Casserole).
2. Doubling entrees and adding fresh, frozen or canned vegetables increases volume and vegetable servings.
3. Adding salsa to Five-Bean Casserole or Turkey Chili will make a spicy, Mexican-like sauce to put over potatoes, vegetables, pasta, and rice.
4. As a rule always try to include at least two vegetable servings with each entree recipe.
