Now that the weather has finally cooled down, I have really been using my oven. I have been making a lot of homemade breads since I learned to make bread at school but I have been making a lot more! I am a big fan of casseroles and had been wanting to try a recipe I found a few months ago in my Taste Of Home magazine.
Since the recipe turned out YUMMY and I plan on making it again, I thought I would share the recipe here too.

This looks really good! I’d probably make it without the olives because nobody here really likes them.
The only thing I’d change is to leave the olives out. No can do!
