From the Test Kitchen

Get ready for our Southern spin on a down-home comfort classic. For this dish, you’ll create a casserole using traditional aromatics, green tomato and collard greens. But no casserole is complete without a crispy topping! In true Southern fashion, you’ll cover the casserole with a cheesy biscuit dough and bake it to form a buttery, flaky crust with serious flavor. It’s a bona fide winner.
