Notes

Suggestions:
  • Serving for party appetizer: Prep it ahead but wait to bake it until the day of. Pull out of the fridge 15 minute prior to baking, then bake and serve hot.
  • For individual meal prep: Use smaller 1-2 cup oven-safe glass dishes. (Great for portion control!)
  • Lower fat alternative - Substitute Greek yogurt for the sour cream 
  • Serve as an appetizer or snack for the week.
  • Serve with tortilla chips or vegetable crudites (baby carrots, celery, bell peppers, etc.)
