Notes
You can use frozen broccoli (cooked and drained) in this dish, but be aware that it will likely introduce additional moisture into the casserole.
You can replace the cheddar in this dish with Colby Jack or another cheese of choice. Feel free to experiment! You can do this without meat and sub in different veggies or you can do it without veggies and put in more cheese and meat. This recipe is extremely versatile
