There’s something deeply comforting about a casserole that feeds the soul as much as the stomach—and if it comes with a little Dolly Parton charm, well, honey, you’ve struck gold.
While Dolly may not have published this exact recipe herself, this 5-Ingredient Casserole embodies her spirit perfectly: warm, generous, unfussy, and full of down-home goodness. Made with just a handful of pantry staples—canned soup, cheese, chicken, rice, and a splash of love—it bakes up into a creamy, golden, one-dish wonder that’s been a Southern kitchen staple for generations.
It’s the kind of meal Dolly might whip up after a long day of songwriting—simple enough for a weekday, special enough for Sunday supper, and guaranteed to bring everyone to the table with a smile.
Let’s make comfort food the way Dolly would: with kindness, ease, and a whole lotta love.
