Growing up in small-town Wisconsin, I decided to stop eating meat as a teenager. My mother struggled to find recipes that she felt delivered protein and that the whole family would enjoy. Wisconsin is known as the dairy state, so cheese was a must. Family dinners in the midwest are frequently one pot style (casserole, hotdish, covered dish or dump dinners are several names for this cuisine). While this recipe does not have roots that reach too far back, it was a meal made with love and served around a big family table many nights in a German/Norwegian farming community.
