Notes

  1. Be sure to mince your onion finely for this dish, as you only want small pieces in each bite.
  2. The cornflakes in this dish should be coarsely crushed. You can achieve this by placing the cereal in a resealable bag and lightly pounding it with a meat mallet or a rolling pin.
  3. I recommend using freshly grated cheese for your casserole. The pre-shredded bags of cheese at the grocery store often contain preservatives and anti caking agents and do not melt smoothly.
