How to Make It (Without the Guilt)
- Prepare the Base: Start with your main protein (chicken, beef, or veggies), cooked until tender and juicy. I like to season generously so that every bite is bursting with flavor.
- Create a Creamy Sauce: The next step is where the magic happens. I mix up a cheesy or creamy sauce—think melted cheese, a splash of cream, and a handful of herbs and spices. This step is what really brings the dish together, turning it into a rich, irresistible comfort food.
- Assemble and Bake: Once everything is cooked and prepped, I layer the ingredients, and if necessary, pop it in the oven to let it bake until the cheese is golden and bubbly, or the sauce has thickened perfectly.
- Serve and Enjoy: The final touch is to serve it hot, right out of the oven, ready to be devoured. You can even add some fresh herbs or crispy toppings to give it that extra wow factor.
