I think it’s recipes like this that make it into your recipe rotation easily because they become almost a comfort food for the family.
My family asks for this one a lot, so the items are often on my shopping list, and it becomes part of our dinner routine to include this recipe a few times a month.
We usually serve it with rice, and I will triple batch the rice to that we can have a favorite casserole recipe in the same week.
