🔹 Step 3: Build the 5-Star Casserole

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Transfer the creamy mixture into a lightly greased baking dish.
3. On top, sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly.
4. In a small bowl, mix the crushed buttery crackers with the melted butter, then spread them over the cheese layer.

This topping creates the irresistible golden crunch.

🔹 Step 4: Bake Until Golden

1. Place the dish in the oven.
2. Bake 20–25 minutes, or until the top is crispy and deep golden brown.
3. Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving — this helps the casserole set.
