Notes
- Feel free to swap out green beans for other canned vegetables like corn or mixed veggies.
- Use any cheese of your choice, such as cheddar, mozzarella, or Monterey Jack, for varied flavors.
- For a spicier version, add some chili flakes or diced jalapeños when mixing the ingredients.
- Ensure potatoes are diced small to cook thoroughly within the baking time.
- Cover with foil during the first 20 minutes if the cheese browns too fast, then uncover for the last 10-15 minutes.
