### Instructions:
#### 1. **Prep the Ingredients:**
Start by prepping all your ingredients—chopping veggies, browning any meats, and getting your cheese ready to go. The more you prep in advance, the easier the process will be when it’s time to assemble.
#### 2. **Cook the Base:**
Whether you’re working with ground beef, chicken, or sausage, cook it in a large pan until fully browned. If you’re using vegetables, sauté them with a little olive oil, garlic, and seasoning. Once everything is cooked, mix together to combine all the flavors.
#### 3. **Assemble the Dish:**
Take your dish (whether it’s a casserole, a skillet, or even a bake) and layer in your ingredients. Start with a base layer, then add a hearty layer of your protein and veggies, followed by cheese and sauce. Repeat the layers as necessary until the dish is packed full of flavor.
#### 4. **Bake or Cook:**
Depending on the recipe, you can pop the dish in the oven or cook it on the stovetop. If you’re baking, bake it at **375°F (190°C)** for about **20-30 minutes** or until the cheese is bubbling and golden brown. If you’re cooking on the stove, let everything simmer together until it’s heated through and the flavors have melded.
#### 5. **Serve and Devour:**
Once your dish is ready, serve it up hot and fresh! Gather around the table and watch it disappear as everyone grabs for a second (or third) helping.
