# Step-by-Step Directions:

05 -
Give it some time to cool off a bit before slicing it into squares and digging in.
# Helpful Notes:
01 -
You can swap frozen veggies for fresh ones if you cook them first to keep things from getting watery.
02 -
If you want it richer, mix in a spoonful of sour cream or Greek yogurt.

Keep any leftovers in the fridge and eat within 4 days.
