For an extra layer of flavor, sauté the onion in a little butter until softened before adding it to the casserole mixture. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preference. Diced bell peppers, corn, or peas would also be delicious additions. If you like a crispy topping, sprinkle crushed potato chips or breadcrumbs over the casserole before baking. This casserole can be assembled ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours before baking. Add an extra 10-15 minutes to the baking time if baking from cold.

Apr 18, 2024I didn't have any green chiles on hand, so I used a dash of hot sauce instead. It gave it a nice little kick!
