Say “cheese!” Oh, no, we’re not taking a photo… that’s just what we exclaim whenever the Hearty Amish Bake is about to be served on our plate. We love it when the layers on layers of creamy noodles and juicy ground beef are up for grabs. It’s just so yum, yum, yum! And like we suggested, there is plenty of cheese melded into each level for the ultimate satisfaction. You could say this Hearty Amish Bake is picture-perfect. And you had better take a picture… because it won’t last long!
