Notes
This casserole pairs perfectly with grilled meats, chicken, or a fresh garden salad. You can also enjoy it on its own as a comforting snack! For an extra cheesy flavor, add more cheddar cheese on top before baking. For spice, mix in diced jalapeños or chili powder. Let the casserole rest for a few minutes before serving to make cutting easier. You can swap cheddar cheese for pepper jack or mozzarella for a different flavor profile, and feel free to add cooked bacon or ham for a meatier version.
