 Recipe Tips

  • Veggie Variations: Swap peas and carrots with corn, green beans, or broccoli for variety.
  • Cheese Options: Try sharp cheddar, Monterey Jack, or pepper jack for different flavor twists.

Storage & Reheating

  • Refrigerator: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
  • Reheat: Warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through, or microwave individual portions.
