Hired Hand Macaroni Casserole

For Flash Back Friday, I'm bringing back a favourite casserole.
Harv's Mom always made it for supper when Dad hired a local man to help him.
For the full story you can go back and read my original post.
I made it recently for my brother in law and it brought back warm memories.
