Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Notes
- Green Bean Substitution: Fresh green beans can be used instead of frozen for a firmer texture. Just blanch them before adding to the casserole.
- Cheese Variations: You can add different cheeses like mozzarella or Monterey Jack for a more unique flavor profile.
- Make-Ahead: Prepare the casserole a day ahead and store it in the refrigerator. Just add a few extra minutes to the baking time if refrigerated.
