Notes

Add cooked mushrooms, bell peppers, or spinach for more veggies.

Increase red pepper flakes or add cayenne for extra heat.

Swap cheddar with mozzarella or pepper jack cheese.

Substitute Greek yogurt for sour cream and use low-fat cottage cheese for a lighter version.

Use gluten-free noodles for a gluten-free option.

Store leftovers refrigerated up to 3 days; reheat in oven or microwave.
