Note

For extra richness, you can add a splash of heavy cream instead of milk.

If you prefer a crispier top, sprinkle additional grated parmesan cheese over the casserole during the last 5 minutes of baking.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the microwave or oven until warmed through.

Feel free to add other vegetables like diced bell peppers or peas for extra nutrition and color.
