1/4 teaspoon pepper

1 teaspoon oregano

Serves 6 to 12, depending upon menu. Prepare a shallow 6 cup casserole with a little margarine or spray oil. Layering in order listed - - - place first 7 ingredients in casserole; use half the amounts for the first 4 ingredients (those marked `divided`). Then layer the remaining amounts of the first 4. Pour milk over top. Cover with foil, but loosely, so steam can escape. Bake 425oF for 25 minutes. Remove foil. Bake 5 more minutes. Remove and let stand a minute or two before cutting.

Beau monde is a seasoning salt whose main component is celery salt. Use lawry`s, mrs. dash, etc. Substitute O`Brien potatoes. Good with lowfat buttermilk!
