Instructions:

2. Prepare the Casserole Mixture:

4. Bake the Casserole:
- Transfer the casserole mixture to a greased 9×13-inch baking dish. Spread the mixture evenly.
- If desired, drizzle the melted butter over the top of the casserole for added flavor and a crispy top.
- Cover with aluminum foil and bake for about 45 minutes.
- After 45 minutes, remove the foil and bake for an additional 10-15 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and bubbly.
5. Serve:
- Let the casserole rest for about 5 minutes before serving. Serve warm and enjoy!
