Instructions

Step 1: Assembly

  1. Combine all ingredients except cheese and potato chips in a large mixing bowl and mix well.
  2. Place the mixture into a greased 9”x13” baking dish.

Step 2: Baking

  1. Sprinkle the top with grated cheese and crushed potato chips.
  2. Bake uncovered at 350°F for 1 hour, until bubbling and golden. If the top browns too much, cover loosely with foil.

💡 Make-Ahead & Storage: Assemble the casserole up to a day in advance, cover, and refrigerate; add the potato chip topping just before baking to maintain crunch.
