Notes
For a crispy top, broil the casserole for the last few minutes of cooking. Use a mix of cheese varieties to enhance flavor—think sharp cheddar and Monterey Jack. This casserole stores beautifully. Make it ahead and reheat for quick dinners. Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a protein boost. Use fresh herbs like parsley or dill to elevate the flavor profile.
