A friend from church gave me the recipe for this satisfying slow-cooked casserole. It's always one of the first dishes emptied at potlucks, and it can easily be adapted to personal tastes. -Julie Sterchi, Campbellsville, Kentucky

I always have leftovers of this casserole and I love it! It's even better the next day. I like to reheat it in the microwave or in the oven until it's warmed through. It's the perfect comfort food for a cold winter day.

This is my go-to recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. It's so simple to make and it's always a hit with my kids. I love that I can just throw it in the slow cooker and forget about it until dinnertime.

I made a few modifications to this recipe to make it healthier. I used whole wheat flour for the crust and added some chopped veggies to the sauce. It turned out great! My family loved it and I felt good about serving it to them.
