Pat Eurich knew what she was talking about when it came to cooking. Her mom and dad used to have a restaurant, so you could say she's been around food all her life.
Learning to cook was easy for Eurich, almost as easy as keeping her family happy with delicious meals. "She's a good cook," her oldest son emphasized. Her youngest son couldn't decide which of her dishes he liked best.
Three of Eurich's favorite casserole dishes are easy to fix and will please just about anyone in the family.
Enchilada Casserole
1 1/2 lbs. hamburger
1 cup chopped onions
1 1/2 tsp. cumin
2 garlic cloves, chopped

1/2 tsp. pepper
1 cup water
2 cups taco sauce
12 corn tortillas
1 lb. Monterey Jack cheese, grated
1 cup sour cream
Cook hamburger and onion, drain. Add next six ingredients and simmer uncovered for 10 minutes. Pour 1/2 cup taco sauce into greased 13x9-inch pan. Arrange half the tortillas in the pan. Pour 1/2 cup taco sauce and 1/2 lb. grated cheese over them, then cover that with half the meat mixture and half of the sour cream. Repeat layers and top with cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 375 degrees for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake an additional five minutes. Serves 10.

The Siloam Springs Lady Panthers volleyball team hoped to claim its fifth state title since 2001 as they began their 2007 season at home against Fayetteville.
The 5-A West conference is fully loaded this year," said Head Coach Rose Cheek. "Any team can vie for the title and as many as three to four teams could play in the semi-finals."
The conference consisted of teams from Alma, Harrison, Greenwood, Morrilton, Vilonia, Little Rock Christian and Greenbrier.
The Lady Panthers were four-time state champions, winning in 2001, 2004, 2005 and 2006 -- taking the coveted title for the last three consecutive years.
