Mix thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Use a spatula to level the surface for even cooking.
Sprinkle the crushed potato chips evenly over the top of the mixture.
Press the topping gently to adhere to the surface.
Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes or until the top is golden and the casserole is bubbly.
Check halfway through to ensure the topping doesn't overbrown.
