CREAMY SEAFOOD CASSEROLE
I love this recipe from my mother. It's easy and delicious. Even better: You can make it the night before. If you're out of buttery crackers, try topping it with french-fried onions or crushed potato chips-they'll give it a different kind of crunch. -Mary Brown, Whitman, Massachusetts

- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add flavor and texture to your casserole. Some good choices include broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, and onions.
- Use a creamy sauce: A creamy sauce will help to bind all of the ingredients together and create a rich, flavorful casserole.
- Top with cheese: Cheese is a classic topping for seafood casserole. It adds a golden brown crust and a cheesy flavor that everyone will love.
