When it’s FREEZING outside, I love to do what any girl likes to do… curl up on my couch, knit, and play around on Pinterest while the fireplace cooks me to a temperature a few degrees hotter than necessary.
Yep, that was me on Saturday morning… until I stumbled upon a new recipe on Pinterest that I’d been wanting to try.
Because it seemed saucy and cheesy of the Mexican genre, I knew that it would be perfect for my balmy 3 degree day in Denver. I bundled up like the kid in Christmas Story and went to the store in search of ingredients.
Once I got back home and thawed out, my plan was to make this dish for dinner, but then thought… why the heck not make it for lunch? Since then, it’s about all I’ve eaten for every meal. Yep, that good.
As a side note: You will have leftover Grands biscuits that you don’t use for this casserole. This would be a great opportunity to try my Creamed Spinach and Veggie Grands Pizzas with those leftover bread balls!
