1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon black pepper

Notes
For a crispier top, broil the casserole for 2–3 minutes at the end of baking.
Don’t skip the sour cream—it balances richness and keeps the dish creamy, not greasy.
If using fresh vegetables instead of frozen, lightly sauté them before mixing in.
