This was our first attempt at this recipe a few weeks ago, and it’s still a favorite of our family!
This Amish Country casserole is a favorite of ours. It’s easy to make and tastes great! Although we don’t know the history of this dish, we are glad that we tried it. This comforting pasta bake is creamy, cheesy and beefy. It’s a delicious, hearty meal that our whole family enjoys.
