- Bake: Place the casserole in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly. The aroma will fill your kitchen!
- Cool and Serve: Let the casserole cool for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows it to set and makes it easier to slice. Enjoy your cheesy, hearty meal!
