Gift In A Jar Cowboy Casserole Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Pour gravy mix into wide-mouth quart jar.

• 3. Pour the wagon wheel pasta into the jar. Place lid and ring onto jar.
• 4. Cut a piece of cloth in a circle that is 3 - 4 inches wider than the jar ring. (I use a pinking sheers to cut the material for a nice edging. I use a rubber band to hold the cloth in place on the jar. Then I tie a pretty ribbon over the rubber band and attach the recipe card that has a hole in it to put the ribbon through. Then tie a pretty bow.
