Baked casserole, a perfect dinner dish
Casseroles were a weekly thing when I was growing up. I was 1 of 3 kids in a family of 5, and casseroles were just an easy way to feed us all. I didn’t always like the casseroles that were served, but I have come to appreciate their versatility, and have come to enjoy the variety of flavours and ingredients in them. The two best things about casseroles: 1) makes great leftovers for lunch the next day, 2) you can create one with whatever you have in the fridge!
