6. Transfer the mixture to the greased casserole dish and spread into an even layer.

7. Sprinkle the shredded cheddar cheese evenly over the mixture.

8. In a small bowl, mix breadcrumbs with melted butter and then sprinkle the mixture over the cheese layer.

9. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, until the casserole is heated through and the top is golden brown and crispy.
