Tip 1: Swap the sharp cheddar for pepper jack cheese for a spicy twist. It adds just the right amount of heat without overpowering the casserole.
Tip 2: Doubling the ingredients is a great idea if you're cooking for a crowd. To be sure it cooks evenly, you'll want to extend the cooking time by 30-45 minutes and check if the center has set before serving.
Tip 3: Want to cut back on calories? Use a reduced-fat sour cream and cheese without sacrificing flavor.
