Directions
Macaroni, Spinach, and Cheese Casserole (OAMC), This is a make ahead meal that you can eat now or hold in the freezer for up to 2 months I have included reheating directions!, I have not made this as an OAMC meal but that is probably because DH can’t keep his hands off it long enough for it to reach the freezer, lol I want to try this with meat in it next time to make it a one-dish dinner because my only complaint is its a little complicated as just a side! My parents both love it too!, I thought this was great, I also added some chicken sausage to it for a little added protein
