Easy way to use up the leftovers.

First of all, the formatting of the recipe is terrible. Second, the recipe was watery (the only liquid I used was cream of celery soup and a can of milk. (I drained the canned green beans.) MAYBE if I'd used a 3-quart casserole and used UNcooked noodles, not drained the green beans, and baked it three or four time more than the recipe called for ... maybe, just maybe, it wouldn't have been so watery. I downloaded it, and I deleted it.
