My mom had a favorite—some kind of ground beef concoction layered with mystery vegetables and a creamy tomato sauce, all tangled up with macaroni. It wasn’t exactly a showstopper, but man, did it hit the spot. And that’s exactly how I felt when I stumbled upon Dolly Parton’s five-ingredient, five-layer casserole. It’s not winning any beauty contests, but with a few tweaks, it’s as cozy and comforting as a big warm hug from the Queen of Country herself.

It seems like the spice section is "everything but the kitchen sink" and it is; you'll love this flavor. In any case, it's juicy, it's crispy, and its "unfried."
