I’ve been trying to use up some of the items in my pantry, freezers, and refrigerators before the end of the year.
I had all these ingredients on hand and tossed them together to make a yummy casserole the other night. It turned out really great! Everyone ate it for dinner and then they all took it for lunch the next day!

This was a super easy, super quick weeknight dinner for me. I literally tossed it together in minutes and threw it in the oven to bake.
Those are my favorite kinds of dinners on busy nights. I’m definitely adding this one to the meal rotation.
