Getting everything mixed just right and watching the baking time makes all the difference. Every ingredient plays a part in making that wonderful texture.
Great Side Dish Matches
This goes great with a Thanksgiving turkey or Christmas ham. You can make a regular Tuesday special with it next to meatloaf. It works with pretty much any main dish.
Mix It Up Your Way
Switch out the cheese types for something different. Throw some crispy bacon on top. Mix in fresh herbs or spicy jalapenos. Top it with crunchy breadcrumbs for extra texture.
Keeping Leftovers Fresh
Store what's left in the fridge with a cover for up to three days. Warm it up gently in your microwave or oven. It's best eaten fresh though – freezing isn't ideal.
