This is a popular casserole in Monroe, Louisiana. Thurman's is quite famous for it. The first time I ate it, a nurse that I worked with brought it to work. This is my take on the recipe.

This recipe is slightly different that the other recipe that is posted for Blend of the Bayou. Here in Louisiana there are several versions of this dish. This is the one that is served at a local restaurant in their plate lunches on Friday. This dish freezes well and everyone I've served it to really enjoys it.
