Notes

  • For a richer flavor, use full-fat milk and sour cream.
  • You can add a pinch of garlic powder or onion powder to the mixture for extra flavor.
  • If you prefer a crispy topping, broil for the last 2-3 minutes, watching carefully to prevent burning.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
