I {heart} casseroles. They are also known as a hot dish. Just stuff put together and baked in the oven. Total comfort food.
Not that many of you are feeling like using your oven right now.
But when you are ready, this is a great dish.
I usually never look forward to winter.
Until this summer.
Oh. I'm ready.
Not just for fall, which around here lasts about a week and then it's right into winter, but bring on the snowy blizzards and hot chocolate.
I can't wait.
