I’ve been looking for a recipe to add to our weekly rotation, and finally found it!

A slice of this casserole is almost a meal in itself, but pairing it with a fresh green salad with tomatoes and cucumbers adds a crisp contrast. A side of Mexican-style rice or a scoop of guacamole can also beautifully complement the dish.

Variations & Tips:

Feel free to switch up the protein – ground turkey or shredded chicken work great. For a vegetarian version, use a variety of beans and veggies like zucchini or mushrooms. To add some spice, consider chipotle powder or jalapeño slices. Remember, letting the casserole rest before serving ensures clean and attractive slices.

So there you have it, a heartwarming dish that’s like a little slice of Midwestern heaven on your dinner plate. Enjoy, my lovelies!
