Dolly Parton’s 5 Layer Casserole Recipe
Growing up in the 70's, casseroles were practically their own food group in my house. 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.

What is Potted Meat, Anyway?
In my region, potted meat is a food pantry staple--and as a self-proclaimed foodie, I'm ashamed to admit that I enjoy it. When I pull the aluminum tab, I find pink pureed meat with a greasy sheen on top. The meat spreads like butter. Saltiness hits my taste buds first, followed by an intense meaty flavor and a slightly grainy texture. Yum!
