Recipe Notes
- Grandma Peggy used a mix of sharp cheddar and colby jack cheese, but most copycat recipes call for cheddar.
- You can easily add protein to the dish, like leftover chicken, ground beef, or ham. Another option is to stir in your favorite veggies, fresh or frozen.
- If you want to add some extra buttery crunch to this dish, crush up two cups of cornflakes and toss in 1/4 cup of melted butter. Then, sprinkle it over your casserole before putting it in the oven. This extra step strays from the Cracker Barrel version of the dish, but it does add a delicious, crunchy topping.
- If you don’t want to take that next step, just broil the top for a couple of minutes to get it really nice and golden brown.
