- Use a deep dish baking dish: This will ensure that the casserole has enough room to bubble and bake evenly.
- Don't skimp on the cheese: Cheese is what makes this casserole so delicious. Use a generous amount of your favorite cheese, or a combination of cheeses.
- Let the casserole rest before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the casserole to set up.
