This was last night's dinner. It was quite good. I think if I make it again
I'll make more layers. It was a bit flat in looks but tasted great.

NOTES : Risa's notes:

* If you cannot find Green Giant Recipe Crumbles in the supermarket, use TVP
Mince that has been reconstituted.

If you aren't vegetarian or you don't eat vegetarian food, than use ground
meat of some kind (1-1/2 lb), browned.
