Tasty Sidekicks

I always enjoy this with some crunchy vegetables alongside. Oven-roasted broccoli or green beans really cut through the richness just right.

Frequently Asked Questions

→ Can I swap out the sausage?
Absolutely. Smoked turkey or chicken sausage works great as a substitute.
→ Why not use bagged shredded cheese?
Freshly shredded cheese melts smoother and tastes better since bagged versions contain additives that affect texture.
→ How long does this dish last?
Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4-5 days. Reheat single portions in the microwave.
→ What’s the purpose of foil?
Foil traps moisture to keep the top from drying. Removing it lets the cheese melt and brown nicely.
→ Can this dish be made ahead?
Sure can! Prep and refrigerate it. Bake straight from cold and add a bit of extra baking time.
