  • 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese

Instructions

Notes

  • You can use fresh vegetables instead of frozen if you prefer, but be sure to cook them first to remove excess moisture.
  • For a creamier texture, you can stir in a bit of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
  • This dish can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 4 days and makes great leftovers.
