My goodness, I love this casserole! If I had to eat one thing for the rest of my life, this would be it. No lie! I remember when my Grandma found this recipe one day in a cookbook and decided to make it. She found it in one of those good old church cookbooks (aren't those the best?!). The cover was worn from use, and she had notes scribbled on random pages next to the recipes she used often. Her handwriting, to me, was beautiful. It was hard to read, but there was so much life behind it. Or maybe I'm just crazy. But she always wrote in cursive, and I loved it, and still do! She was the best cook, as country and Southern as they come! I don't know what it is, but when I make it I feel like mine never tastes as good as hers. I've been told it is, but to me, it's just not the same. At any rate, this casserole is absolutely incredible. Perfect for a potluck, Sunday after church, or just a quick weeknight dinner.
