Notes

This casserole is best served warm. You can enjoy it on its own or pair it with a simple green salad for a complete meal. It also makes a great dish for potlucks or family gatherings. Optionally, you can use rotisserie chicken to save time and mix in other low-carb vegetables like zucchini or bell peppers. For added flavor, consider using pepper jack cheese or incorporating herbs like thyme or basil.
