  5. Pour the mixture into the prepared baking dish, spread evenly, and top with shredded cheddar cheese.
  6. Bake uncovered for 20 minutes until edges are bubbling and cheese is melty.
  7. Sprinkle crispy fried onions on top and bake for an additional 5–7 minutes until golden brown.
  8. Remove from oven and let it rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
