Before we get ahead of ourselves, we know this is a meal that goes beyond indulgent and is most definitely a splurge meal, but one that is downright delicious and irresistible.

Yes, its salty, but in an unapologetic way that makes you want to dive right into this creamy, crunchy, chewy noodle casserole delight.
