A Casserole That Will Make You Feel Great Childhood Memories!

This recipe is absolutely perfect the way it is. I do not change anything about, but I know that my good friend likes to ad more veggies, which I am going to have to try some time. She will add in mushrooms, zucchini, and squash. Not a bad idea. Chop them up and throw them in the casserole. You have to be sneaky when you are trying to get your kids to eat veggies! Another thing that I love about this casserole, if you like to can tomatoes then this is the perfect recipe to throw one of those canned jars of tomatoes into! Give this recipe a try!
