About
Yes, it really is insane just how tasty the Crazy Good Casserole is! But at the same time, it isn't really that crazy, because it simply combines all the best parts of casseroles together: crunchy salty bacon, juicy chicken, tender bouncy pasta, and melty Monterey Jack cheese all in a creamy sauce. What might be crazy is how all these simple, homespun ingredients can come together to make something greater than the sum of its parts: a casserole guaranteed to make people bonkers for more! Crazy Good Casserole is just that, and then some!
