Tips & Variations

Use fresh green beans blanched briefly if you prefer a fresher taste and firmer texture.
For extra flavor, add cooked bacon bits or a splash of soy sauce to the mix.
Swap cheddar cheese for mozzarella or Gruyère for a different cheesy twist.

Storage

Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To reheat, microwave in 1-minute intervals or warm in the oven at 350°F until heated through, adding a bit of extra cheese or onions on top if desired.
