- 1 cup sour cream
- 1/2 cup beef broth
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

- Cover the dish tightly with foil and bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- Remove the foil and continue baking for an additional 10 to 15 minutes, or until the cheese topping is melted and bubbling.
- Once baked, allow the casserole to rest for 10 minutes before serving.
