Sprinkle the 1 cup of cheddar cheese on top of the casserole mixture and sprinkle some parsley over the cheese.
  6. Bake for 30 – 40 minutes at 175 Deg. C until golden brown and cooked. (should bubble or if you have a clear Pyrex bowl you will see on the side that the liquid has thickened)
  7. Serve with a salad for a tasty meal.
