1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).

5. Transfer to Baking Dish: Pour the mixture into a greased 9×13 inch baking dish, spreading it evenly.
6. Add Cheese: Sprinkle the shredded Monterey Jack cheese on top of the mixture.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the cheese is bubbly and golden.
8. Cool: Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
9. Garnish: Optionally, sprinkle fresh parsley on top for added flavor and color.
