Honestly, I am not quite sure how this recipe got its name, but I think it’s because John Wayne loved casseroles too!
I know some people aren’t a huge fan of casseroles, but as a mom, I absolutely love them. It’s so nice to be able to throw something together and walk away and get more done while it’s cooking.
Also, it doesn’t hurt that my kids eat this WITHOUT COMPLAINING! It is a hit in our house. I’ve even considered doubling the batch so I actually get to have some leftovers. That’s another reason casseroles are one of my favorite things to make, who doesn’t love leftovers?
