Step 5: Transfer to Baking Dish
Spoon the mixture into the prepared baking dish. Spread it evenly and lightly press it down so it bakes uniformly.
Step 6: Add Topping (Optional)
For a crispy top, sprinkle crushed cornflakes mixed with melted butter over the casserole. You can also add extra cheese for a cheesier finish.
Step 7: Bake to Perfection
Place the dish in the oven and bake uncovered for 40–45 minutes, or until the top is golden brown and the casserole is bubbling around the edges.
Step 8: Rest and Serve
Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5–10 minutes before serving. This helps the casserole set and makes serving easier.
