This meal is heavy.
Be sure to add a side salad or your favorite frozen vegetable. Adding something green with fiber will help fill up your tummy and you will be less likely to overeat.
Cheeseburgers aren’t necessarily full of nutrients, (although I wish they were!) adding a side of vegetables will help fill those gaps!
CHEESEBURGER CASSEROLE
This dish is family-friendly and simple to throw together. You can do the majority of prep on the weekend before to save time or forget the casserole and serve straight from the skillet!
