Cowboy Bake
This Cowboy Bake is a twist on my carry-in standby, Cowboy Casserole. While Cowboy Casserole is delicious by itself, I wanted a meatier option that could be a complete meal in and of itself. So, I created this dish. While it may not be the prettiest dish, it is delicious and so filling. Perfect for a chilly autumn evening…
