  • Assemble the bowls. Single-serve method: Divide the mixture between 2 oven-safe bowls (like French onion soup bowls). Family-style method: Spread the mixture into an 8x8" baking dish.

Notes

To microwave instead: Microwave single-serve bowls on high for 1–2 minutes to heat the base. Add cheese and remaining toppings, then microwave another 30–45 seconds until melted.
