Notes
This dish can be prepared a day in advance and stored in the refrigerator; just add 5-10 minutes to the baking time.
Serve it with a side salad or garlic bread for a complete meal.
Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream for a healthier version.
For a spicy twist, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the mixture.
