Loaded Chicken and Hash Brown Casserole
This loaded chicken and hash brown casserole is most definitely loaded with flavor. It is like a mix of funeral potatoes and a ranch-style loaded baked potato.
Deep-Dish Cast Iron Pizza
Baked in a cast iron skillet, this deep-dish pizza has a buttery, thick, and chewy pizza crust. The toppings are substantial but not so overwhelming that the dough won't cook. If you cook the sausage while the dough is proofing, you'll be ready to assemble the pizza that much faster. This pairs perfectly with a Caesar salad. Pizza never tasted so good!
Strawberry Oreo Cheesecake
