Multiple cooking blogs have shared what's reported to be Dolly Parton's five-layer dinner casserole recipe.
The recipe contains potatoes, onions, and tomatoes and is supposed to take two hours to cook.
Overall, it turned out to be quite delicious and I'd make it again.

Dolly Parton is a country-music legend, but that's not where her talent ends - she may also have some serious culinary skills.

In recent years, a variety of cooking blogs like Chin Deep and bFeedme have shared what's reportedly Parton's recipe for a five-layer dinner casserole.

We might not know for sure if Parton's ever made this dish, but I decided to follow Chin Deep's version of the recipe, to find out if the queen of country could also be the queen of cooking.

Here's how my five-layer casserole turned out:
