Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C) to ensure it is ready for baking the casserole.

- Assemble casserole: Pour the combined mixture into a greased baking dish to prevent sticking.

- Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the casserole is fully set and slightly golden on top.
Notes
- Use any type of cheese you prefer such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Swiss for variation.
- For a dairy-free version, substitute milk and cheese with plant-based alternatives.
- This casserole can be prepared the night before and baked fresh in the morning for convenience.
- Add cooked sausage or bacon if you want to include meat in the dish.
- Make sure not to overcook the vegetables to preserve their texture and nutrients.
