I am feeling so pumped for 2020! I love even numbers so that is one reason I am pumped. But i’m mostly just excited to watch Ruthie keep growing, grow this blog even more and see my first cookbook come into the world!! So to start off this year the right way, let’s get some delicious and healthy recipes in our system. This one is pretty epic because it’s a simple casserole and all of the layers come together in cheeseburger deliciousness. The best part is that Ruthie loved this dish so much and with her getting pickier by the day, that’s a huge win! I would LOVE for you to try out this recipe and let me know what you think in the comments. Enjoy!!
Served with a Topo Chico of course.
Casseroles are hard to photograph but trust me, its amazing!
