Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Assembly

  2. Transfer the mixture to a greased 9x13-inch baking dish, spreading out evenly.
  3. Sprinkle the crispy fried onions generously over the top.
Baking
  1. Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until bubbly and the topping is golden brown.
Serving
  1. Allow to cool for a few minutes before serving warm.
