Notes
For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or chopped jalapeños. You can also experiment with different types of cheese like Monterey Jack or Pepper Jack. Add cooked bacon, ham, or sausage for a heartier casserole. To store, cover tightly with plastic wrap and store in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking, or store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
