Dolly Parton has shared recipes rooted in the simple Southern cooking she grew up with. She said she often made chicken and dumplings for movie casts and crews, using a recipe inspired by her mother’s cooking and eventually sharing it publicly. Another dish associated with Parton is a five-ingredient layered casserole made with ground beef, onions, potatoes, tomatoes and green bell pepper; some versions add seasonings or cheese.
