It has been a while since I have made a casserole on the blog. I am not sure why!? My family loves a good casserole! So my goal is to bring you some more casseroles. They are perfect this time of the year and they are so comforting! I especially love that they can feed my entire family with leftovers.

When I had my baby last summer, our neighbor brought us this casserole. OMG, it was so good and our entire family devoured it. It is one of those recipes that you have to hunt down and make again and again. My family is always asking me to make this now and I wanted to share it with you!

This recipe is such a classic and I remember having it before. But the one that my neighbor brought was THE BEST. It might be the extra addition of slivered almonds on the top? Whatever it was, this casserole came together so well and the flavor was incredible.
