Then I covered the baking dish with aluminum foil and placed it in the oven to bake for 50 minutes.

While the casserole was in the oven I prepared the Ritz cracker topping.

I placed some Ritz crackers in a large Ziploc bag and then crushed them with a heavy bottomed pot.

I stirred the ingredients together with a fork.

At the 50 minute mark I removed the casserole from the oven and took off the foil.

I sprinkled the Ritz cracker mixture over the casserole and then returned the dish to the oven uncovered to crisp up the topping.

Once the Ritz cracker topping was starting to brown I removed the casserole from the oven.
