This is a tasty casserole. It is easy to fix and transport and provides a healthy, well-rounded meal in one dish. My kids have always liked this dish, and my extended family was introduced to it in the silage field and really liked it as well. It reheats well for leftovers in a hurry. It is also an easy dish to take to the field. This can also be made in a crock pot on low for 4 hours if the cook also has to be the hired hand.
