Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Grease a 9x13-inch baking dish and set aside.

Transfer the mixture to the prepared baking dish, spreading it out into an even layer.

Step 7

Top the casserole with the remaining 1/2 cup of shredded cheddar cheese and sprinkle the breadcrumbs evenly over the top.
