Note

Ensure all cookware used is microwave-safe and non-metallic.

If the casserole is not bubbling vigorously after 9 minutes, continue heating in 1-minute increments.

For added crunch, you can top with crushed crackers or breadcrumbs before serving, though this is not included in the microwave cooking time.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave.
