Getting it right comes down to mixing things properly and watching your oven. Every ingredient plays a part in making the texture just right.
Tasty Companions
It goes great with turkey or ham during the holidays. Pair it with meatloaf for a regular dinner night. It'll match any main meat dish you choose.
Mix It Up
Switch between different cheeses. Throw some crispy bacon on top. Mix in some fresh herbs or spicy peppers. Try a crunchy layer of breadcrumbs over everything.
Keeping Leftovers
Wrap up what's left and stick it in the fridge for up to three days. Warm it up slowly in your microwave or oven. It tastes way better fresh than after freezing.
