California casserole is loaded with yummy veggies and cheese. It is baked to perfection and tastes like a dream come true. My mother was an avid casserole cooker but she never made this one. It’s probably because we are from Michigan. Anyway, I’m glad that I expanded my horizons and made this little West Coast gem. My husband and kids absolutely loved it and we even had a bit leftover for lunch the next day.
If you haven’t ever made California casserole now is as good a time as ever.
