The recipe is always a crowd pleaser. I’ve got to thank my grandma for the recipe

Topping: crushed crackers or breadcrumbs + a drizzle of butter

🧑‍🍳 Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a skillet, sauté onion until soft. Add your protein and cook through (if needed).
3. In a large bowl, combine protein, cooked rice/pasta, soup, cheese, sour cream, and spices.
4. Mix in any extras (veggies or herbs).
5. Spread mixture in a greased baking dish.
6. Top with more cheese and crushed crackers or breadcrumbs.
7. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until bubbly and golden.

🧡 Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving—if you can wait that long!

Every time I make this, I feel like Grandma’s right there in the kitchen with me—laughing, humming, and sneaking me little tastes before it was “ready.”

She taught me that cooking isn’t just about feeding people. It’s about nourishing hearts, creating joy, and building memories. And this recipe? It’s all of that and more.

So from my family to yours: Enjoy every bite. Share it, tweak it, make it your own. Just don’t forget where it came from—and who you’re sharing it with.
