Notes
- Instead of Ritz crackers, try topping with corn flakes, saltines, or other crushed crackers.
- Add cooked bacon or frozen mixed vegetables for a flavorful twist.
- Shred chicken into bite-sized pieces for the perfect texture.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
