Generic casserole recipe

Appealing to a non-cook like me now having to think about cooking, but I'm sure this will cause much mirth to others - hence 'humour' tag. The idea/hope is that you just need to memorize the one generic recipe and reuse it according to ingredients on hand, etc.

1 cup main ingredient
1 cup second ingredient
1-2 cups starchy ingredient
1 1/2 cups binder
1/4 cup “goodie”
seasoning
topping

Main ingredient: tuna, cubed chicken, turkey, ham, seafood, etc.
Second ingredient: thinly sliced celery, mushrooms, peas, chopped hard-boiled eggs, etc.
Starchy ingredient: thinly sliced potatoes, cooked noodles, cooked rice, etc.
Binder: cream sauce, sour cream, can of soup, etc.
“Goodie”: pimiento, olives, almonds, water chestnuts, etc.
Topping: cheese, bread crumbs, etc.

An example given is chicken + mushrooms + rice + cream of chicken soup + cheese combo (no goodie).

This post is calling out for comments & advice!
