  4. Transfer the combined mixture into a greased baking dish, spreading it evenly.
  5. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese generously on top of the mixture.

Notes

Feel free to add sautéed mushrooms, bell peppers, or even cooked rice for added flavor. You can substitute Greek yogurt for mayonnaise for a healthier option. If freezing, consider omitting the cheese topping until reheating.
