It’s also incredibly versatile. You can swap ingredients to suit dietary needs or use what’s already in your kitchen, and it still turns out delicious.
Tips for Next Time (aka the Double-Batch Plan)

- Serve with simple sides like a fresh salad or roasted veggies to stretch it further.

So yes, next time I’m making double. And maybe even hiding a portion for leftovers… if I’m lucky.
Want the full recipe or tips to make it even better? I’d be happy to share — just let me know!
If you share the type of dish it is (mac and cheese, baked ziti, chicken casserole, etc.), I can tailor the article even more!
