Several years ago, I went to a picnic and made a Cowboy Casserole recipe that I found from an old cooking magazine. As soon as a very special friend tasted it, she claimed it was my “go-to recipe” from now on. Since then, I have made this delicious casserole every time I needed to bring something to a get-together.
The best part of Cowboy Casserole is that it can be made on the stove, made in the oven, or even thrown in the crockpot!
