A dear Southern friend brought this to me when I was on bed rest with my first born. This comforting casserole has grown to become a family staple especially with the teenage boys! While maybe not the healthiest meal, times like this mean we make do with what we have and many of the ingredients called for here are from the pantry. This is also a great one to freeze, so double up if you are stocking up for future meals.
