Pairing this rich casserole with lighter sides like a green salad, steamed vegetables, or a tangy coleslaw is an excellent way to balance the meal. The crispness and acidity from a vinaigrette-dressed salad or the crunch of coleslaw can cut through the creaminess of the cheese and potatoes, creating a well-rounded dining experience. And who could resist the idea of crusty bread or dinner rolls to mop up every last bit of that indulgent sauce?
