Here’s another simple and good one dish recipe. I thought this recipe was pretty good for being a one dish recipe, but my wife thought it was great. Because I was cooking for just the 2 of us we had left overs, which reheated very well making for a nice lunch the following day.
If you’re looking for a simple and good one-dish casserole recipe, give this one a try – it doesn’t take that long to prepare, and it’s really good.
