Dorito Casserole
I had this casserole for the first time when my best friend from high school turned 16. It was her Sweet Sixteen birthday party and her mom had made it for all of us girls who were celebrating with her. This recipe has since then become a family favorite, not only here on the farm, but also in my sisters families. Today is Mariah’s birthday. So, in honor of her, I’m posting this recipe. Also, thank you to her mother, Melanie, for giving me this recipe all those years ago.
