        Put some cheese in there: For added cheesiness, stir in ½ cup of shredded cheddar cheese.
          Transfer to the baking dish: Evenly distribute the ingredients inside the dish.
            Add cheese: Evenly distribute the remaining 1 cup of cheddar cheese on top.
              Bake: Put in the oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted, gently browned, and hot and bubbling.
                Rest and serve: Before serving, give the casserole five minutes to rest.
