Delicious Cowboy Casserole

Cowboy Casserole

This dish is incredibly satisfying and fairly healthy (lots of protein), It serves six but we ate most of it last night and finished off the leftovers tonight. I came across this dish on Pinterest (big surprise) and so glad I did. My hubby even thought it was a big hit. I am so glad to have my own food critic to tell me when things are "actually" delicious. This is my first post using complete "Manual" for every picture. I love the fact that in just a few short months I am mastering how to take pictures and absolutely loving it. :) I am the photographer and don't need "auto". I love this dish and plan on adding this to our regular menu in our household.

These pictures don't do the dish justice

It has been such a crazy spring here at the Barry household. I have successfully thrown two baby showers, attended a birthday party for my niece, taken maternity pictures and a lot of traveling in between. It's been crazy but I am so thankful for each and every person in my life. It might be hectic at times but it's "My Crazy Barry Life" and I wouldn't trade it for anything.

First time using my self timer (love my fur babies)

XOXO
