Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C) and grease a 9x9-inch baking dish.

- Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish and spread evenly.

Notes
- Use panko breadcrumbs for an extra crispy topping.
- For a lighter option, substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and mayonnaise.
- Add cooked bacon or ham for extra flavor and protein.
