For my son’s 16th birthday, he just wanted some friends over to hang out this year. I offered to buy pizza but he requested that I make something homemade. I asked about this casserole and his eyes lit up. “That will be perfect Mom! Can you make two pans?” That’s exactly what I did and I never heard anyone complain the whole time about being hungry. Now that’s a victory in my book. Check out what they are saying about this recipe over at Group Recipes:
