They bring back warm feelings of nostalgia for bygone days spent with loved ones and happy memories of our youth.
Even more infrequently do we whip up these meals for a dinner party on a Friday night, a Saturday lunch after the game, or overnight guests.
Therefore, the next time you have guests around, think about skipping the charcuterie board and instead whipping up some tried-and-true classics.
Put those hearty dishes (such Southern Meatloaf, Chicken Pot Pie Casserole, and Tuna Noodle Casserole) on display.
We're just as happy as the next person to try a trendy new dish or TikTok video,
but there's still a certain joy in reintroducing people to a tried-and-true classic.
The host will love this easy-to-make, hearty dish, and it goes wonderfully with mashed potatoes and crunchy beans.
