Dinner · December 31, 2022

This is the easiest “easy garlic bread casserole recipe” ever. I am a stay at home and homeschooling mom, so I cook a lot of meals. And, to find meals that the whole family will love is sometimes challenging. Usually, every week we have spaghetti, meatballs and garlic bread. A family favorite is the garlic cheese bread that I buy in the frozen section of my local supermarket. However, this week I wanted to try something new with my garlic cheese bread that I had purchased, so I was looking at what items that I had in my pantry and created this yummy casserole.
