As mothers, whether you are working mothers or amazing housewives, we all have a lot of things to do. Sometimes, we just need a go-to recipe that will save us from stressing ourselves too much. Most of the time, the saving grace comes in the form of casseroles. They are easy to whip up because most of the ingredients are in your fridge or pantry. You can even adjust the flavors based on your preferred taste. They are reliable when it comes to quality meals for the family.
Check out what our friends from Thumb In Plum have to say about this recipe:
“After getting home and wanting to decompress the last thing I wanted to think about was cooking food and washing dishes. This was a kind of toss it all together and shove it in the oven kind of day. This has cheese, cheese, and more cheese. It’s rich and warm and simple. Let’s say that again, simple.”
Cheesy and simple, cheesy and simple, cheesy and simple- now repeat that for several times. My husband has drooled at the mention of cheese alone; and when he learned how easy it was to make this- no one can stop his fanboying.
