Lady brought this famous “8-Layer Casserole” to a party. This dish stole the show!

– Feel free to substitute ground turkey or even a plant-based meat alternative for the beef to lighten it up or make it vegetarian-friendly.
– If you have leftover roasted veggies, throw them into one of the layers for extra flavor and nutrition.
– I often mix in a teaspoon of smoked paprika into the meat sauce for a smoky twist.
– You can easily prepare this casserole ahead of time. Just assemble, cover, and refrigerate or freeze. If you bake it from frozen, add an extra 15-20 minutes to the covered bake time.
– For those busy nights or meal prep Sundays, this casserole is a lifesaver. It’s a reassuring hug in the form of a meal, ready whenever you need it!
