Have you finished your shopping and wrapped every package?

Are your halls all decked…whatever that is?

Have you baked cookies for Santa and gotten jolly?

And decorated your door with boughs of holly?

Well, me neither, but don’t fret…Here’s a dish you can make without breaking a sweat!

This “raid the refrigerator casserole,” has everything you need to keep going during these last days before Christmas…

It’s warm and comforting, but in a scaled down way, so you can still enjoy treats at the next holiday party

Low fat mozzarella, flavorful Parmesan, and a lightened up Alfredo sauce keep things very tasty and the calories down

Saute the salami and ham to render out the fat and give it some color and amp up the flavor

A little sauce goes in the bottom of the dish, then start to layer

Use vegetable ravioli and add fresh vegetables too, if you have some, like spinach leaves, leftover cooked broccoli or squash, red peppers ~ the more vegetables the merrier!

Layer like a lasagna, noodles, meat, sauce cheese, repeating twice and ending with cheese on top

It only takes 15 minutes to assemble for baking, and you can hold it in the fridge for 24 hours before baking if desired

It looks very tempting once it’s out of the oven

And will help you put the Merry back in your Ho Ho Ho! 🎄
