I prefer this with some kick so I use habanero cheese or pepper jack and add either in the filling. I cannot explain how great this casserole is. Delicious is an understatement. Mouth-watering? Absolutely! What I am sure of is this is one of the easiest and quickest to make. My go-to for a busy weeknight and superb to serve to company. Try it and I am a hundred percent sure that you’ll crave this over and over again.
